THE FLORA OF WARWICKSH]

An early worshipper at Nature's shrine,
I loved her rudest scenes, — warrens and heaths,
And yellow commons, and birch-shaded hollows,
And hedgerows, bordering unfrequented lanes,
Bowered with wild roses, and the clasping woodbine,
Where purple tassels of the tangling vetch
With bittersweet and bryony inweave,
And the dew fills the silver bindweed's cups, —
I loved to trace the brooks whose humid banks
Nourish the harebell and the freckled pagil ;
And stroll among overshadowing woods of beech
Lending in summer, from the heats of noon,
A whispering shade; while haply there reclines
Some pensive lover of uncultured flowers.
Who, from the stumps with bright green mosses clad.
Plucks the wood-sorrel with its light thin leaves.
Heart-shaped and triply folded, and its root
Creeping like beaded coral.
Charloite Smith.

PREFACE.
The first attempt at a complete Flora of Warwickshire was a series
of papers written by me, and published in the " Midland Naturalist"
during the years 1881 to 1885. In those papers the county was
divided into two districts only, the Tame and the Avon. The present
work is an amplification of those papers ; but in this, the county is
divided into ten districts, based on the river drainage ; the distribu-
tion of the plants is more fully worked out, the nomenclature revised
so as to be more in accordance with present-day views, the older
writers (so far as my knowledge serves) are fully quoted, and the whole
work has been recast and rewritten. Every endeavour has been made
to make the present work complete and correct ; but I am convinced
that a critical examination will reveal many faults that have escaped
my notice ; and whilst I do not wish to exonerate those faults, I may
here state that I have spared no pains to avoid them; that all my
work, whether clerical or botanical, has been done in the scant leisure
of a manufactory clerk ; and that my knowledge of botany has been
self-acquired.
It is with gratitude I here acknowledge much kindly help from
many sources — help given considerately, courteously, and without
stint.
To the late Rev. Andrew Bloxam, M.A., Professor C. C. Babing-
ton, M.A., F.R.S., and Mr. J. G. Baker, F.R.S., I am indebted for
material help with those critical plants, the Rubi and Rosae ; to Dr.
Braithwaite, F.L.S., for help, specimens, and encouragement with the
Mosses; to Dr. M. C Cooke, A.L.S., for much assistance with the
Fungi ; to Messrs. Henry and James Groves, F.L.S., for specimens and
assistance with the Characeae ; and to the late Rev. W. W. Newbould,
M.A., for much valuable help and counsel. To him I owe all my
records from the herbaria of Kew, the British Museum, and the
private herbarium of Professor Babington. These records were given
in the fullest and most thorough manner, and, what was the more
gratifying, the task of copying them was a self-imposed one. I have
also to thank Mr. G. Claridge Druce, M.A., for many notes from the
Baxter Herbarium at Oxford. Help has also been received from
Professor Haeckel, of St. Poelton ; Dr. Christ, of Geneva ; Arthur
Bennett, F.L.S., W. H. Beeby, A.L.S., George Nicholson, A.L.S.,
Rev. W. Moyle Rogers, F.L.S., Rev. W. H. Purchas, Rev. Augustus

last, but not least, from my old friend, Henry Bromwich, of Milver-
ton, an. ardent and indefatigable botanist, the record of whose work
will be found prominent in these pages.
The able account of the geology of the county I owe to my
friend, A. Bernard Badger, B.A., of New College, Oxford, and
Burdett-Coutts Scholar of that Unfversity ; this was undertaken in
the kindest manner, and has been written in the midst of very close
and engrossing duties, and is an important addition to the work. I
have also to record my warmest thanks to Mr. T. H. Goodwin
Kewton, M.A., F.R.Met.S., of Barrells Park, for his kindness in
contributing a valuable and instructive note on the meteorology of
the county.
I have also to thank my sincere friends, E. W. Badger, F.R.H.S.
(Editor of the "Midland Naturalist"), and W. B. Grove, M.A.,
for their most valuable and unremitting assistance in reading and
correcting all the proofs of this work, and generally seeing it through
the press ; to both these gentlemen I am deeply indebted, and
acknowledge with gratitude that, to their kind scrutiny and constant
care and attention, the work owes much of the literal accuracy
which I am sanguine it will be found to possess.
I owe much to my printers, Messrs. Wright, Dain, Peyton, and
Co., of the Herald Press, Birmingham, for the admirable manner in
which they have printed this book, and for the readiness with which
they have complied with my requirements.
It is a source of much pleasure to me, as well as a duty, to record
my sincere thanks to the following gentlemen, who voluntarily
guaranteed me from loss in the publication of my Flora; although
(thanks to the generous support accorded to me) it has not been
needful to trench upon their generosity, the feeling of security it
imparted was gratifying and helpful. My guarantors were the
Right Honble. Joseph Chamberlain, M.P., the Rev. A. R. Vardy,
M.A., Dr. Lawson Tait, F.R.C.S., Prof. W. Hillhouse, M.A., and
Messrs. R. W. Chase, Thomas Hooper, J. JafFray, J. P., Wm.
Mathews, M.A., A. Follett Osier, 'F.R.S., C. T. Parsons, J.P., J. B.
Stone, J.P., F.L.S., and A. W. Wills, J.P. To the Council of the
Birmingham Philosophical Society I am also greatly indebted for the
vote of ;^io from the Research Fund of that Society ; and I gratefully
thank my numerous subscribers, by whose kindly support I have
been enabled to carry out the wish of my later years, in the publica-
tion of this Flora of my native county.
In. conclusion, I beg to say I shall be glad to receive additional
botanical records from any of my readers who may be in a position
to supply them. All such records will be duly acknowledged, and
given in the name of the sender in any future notes I may publish
on the Flora of Warwickshire.

INTRODUCTION.
TOPOGRAPHY.
Warwickshire, which lies between 51" 37' yf and 52" 42' north latitude and
i" 7' 30" and i" 56' 40* west longitude, is an inland county in central England. It
is bounded on the east by Leicestershire and Northamptonshire, on the south-east
by Oxfordshire, on the south-west by Gloucestershire, on the west by Worcester-
shire, and on the north-west by Staffordshire. It is met by the counties
of Stafford, Derby, and Leicester at its north point ; and at its south point
is the Four-shire Stone, marking the union of Warwick, Gloucester, Oxford,
and Worcester. It is of irregular form, tapering north and south. Its
greatest length, from No Man's Heath, near Seckington, in the north, to
Little Compton, in the south, is about fifty-five miles; its greatest breadth,
from Inkford to the boundary line near Hill Morton, thirty-five miles ;
circumference 150 miles. Its area is 885 square miles, or 566,458 acres. It
contains 4 hundreds. 2 cities, i county town, 10 market towns, and 209 parishes.
Its population in 1 881 was 737*339 — males 337,146, females 380,193; and more
than half its inhabitants, viz., 400,774, are within the city of Birmingham.
ELEVATIONS.
The surface of Warwickshire is fairly diversified, and almost everywhere undu-
lating and picturesque, but never grand or imposing. Its greatest elevations are
mostly on the borders of the county. At Bright Hill, the southern boundary, the
highest point is about 737ft. above sea level ; running north-east of this a long
ridge of high land forms the Oxfordshire boundary, and is at its highest point about
705ft. This forms a continuation of the Edge Hill range. The highest point on
the Edge Hill is near Knowle End, about 760ft. The Avon Dassett (668ft.),
Burton Dassett (710ft.), and Farnborough Hills (570ft.) are part of the same range.
North-east of Wormleighton is the Northamptonshire boundary, formed by
Marston Hill, 626ft., and Shuckburgh Hill, 570ft. The eastern boundary at Hill
Morton attains an elevation of 403ft. ; north-east at Watling Street, near Wolvey,
We have 430ft. ; north, above Austrey, on the Leicester boundary, 380ft. ; and at
the Staffordshire boundary, near Four Oaks, 565ft. The north-west boundary, in
the Hagley Road, 607ft. ; west, near Withall .md Forshaw Heath, 527ft. ; the
Ridgeway, near Alcester and Coughton, 408ft. ; and south-west, at Ilmington
Downs, 855ft. Besides these are elevations at Oldbury Camp, near Atherstone,
558ft. ; Corley, 625ft. ; and in the south-west Brailes Hill, about 700ft. The
lowest points are the river beds : these are given in greater detail further on, but
in the Tame basin that near Ladies' Bridge, Tamworth, 1 80ft., and in the Avon at
Stratford-on-Avon, 11 oft., and near Salford Priors, about 80ft., are the lowest
Doints.

X. DRAINAGE, CLIMATK, SOILS, ETC.
DRAINAGE, CLIMATE, SOILS, &c.
With the exception of a small portion in the south-east, Warwickshire is drained
by two principal rivers, the Tame and Avon ; a ridge of high land, forming an
irregular line from east to west, forming the chief watershed of the county. From
near High Cross on Watling Street, the line of water-parting passes north of Monks
Kirby and Shilton in a westerly direction. Near Barnacle Hall its strike becomes
north-westerly through Bedworth and Arbury Park to near Astley. From this
point it strikes somewhat abruptly south and south-west through Astley, forming
the high land about Fillongley, Corley Moor, Berkswell, and Honiley. From
near Honiley it takes a sinuous course north of Wroxall, Baddesley Clinton, and
Lapworth, near Chalcot Wood, and north of Tan worth, to a point between Gorgot
Hiil and Bramstone Cross on the highway forming the county boundary. All
waters north of this line fall into the Tame, and are part of the Trent basin, and
(with the exception above mentioned) all waters south of this line fall into the
Avon, forming part of the Severn basin. A small portion in the south-east drains
into the Cherwell, and belongs to the Thames basin. These various waters are
fully traced in treating of the botanical districts.
The insulated position of this county, and its freedom from any great irregu-
larities of surface, render its climate mild, and vegetation early. The winds most
prevalent are from the south-west, frequently accompanied with rain ; but usually
, towards the middle of May easterly winds are felt.
The soils are fertile but varied, comprising nearly all but those containing
chalk and flints. All the southern and south-eastern part of the county, separated
from the rest by an imaginary line drawn from the border of Northampton-
shire, near Willoughby, south-westward by Grandborough, Long Itchington,
Southam, Harbury, Ashorne, Wellesboume Hastings, to Atherstone-on-Stour, has
nearly throughout a strong clay resting on limestone. A soil of a similar nature
occupies the north-eastern extremity of the county, and may be separated from the
rest by a line passing from Watling Street, near Nuneaton, by Oldbury and Kings-
bury to the eastern boundary of the county by Tamworth. Over a large portion of
the county, from near Warwick to the western boundary neajr The Portway,
including Salford, Alcester, and Henley-in-Arden, are strong clay loams resting on
marl and limestone. Westward of Warwick commences a considerable tract of
strong clay on limestone, which extends south-westward to the confines of the
county, Stratford-on-Avon being situated on the south-eastern side of it. The
detached portions of it about Crimscote, Ilmington, &c., have a similar soil.
About Shotswell. Warmington, Radway, Avon Dassett, and Farnborough, and
along the Warwick Road as far as Gaydon, is a large extent of rich pastures ;
fine grazing land is also found stretching from Grandborough to near Dunchurch.
About Rugby and Grandborough are light, sandy soils, mixed with gravel. A
similar soil extends from Meriden northward to the boundary of the county,
chiefly in the valleys of the Blythe and Tame, such as much of the country around
Coleshill Heath and Sutton Coldfield. The remaining extensive portions of the
county consist chiefly of a red sandy loam and a red clay loam, resting on free-
stone or limestone, and sometimes on a sharp gravel. Coventry is also surrounded
by a rich, deep sandy loam, resting on marl and freestone. About Castle
Bromwich, a good red, clayey loam prevails, extending eastward to Coleshill, and
westward to Birmingham. The extent of unenclosed land is very inconsiderable,
the only extensive commons being those of Sutton Coldfield and Yarningale.
Whilst Warwickhire is well wooded, and, in some parts, still retains remnants
of the old Forest of Arden, the woods are usually small ; but fine woods
are still existing, such as those about Long Compton, Wolford, Chesterton,
Oversley, Ragley, Wootton Wawen, Baddesley Clinton, Stoneleigh. Princethorpe,
Meriden, Hartshill, and Corley ; and the grand old parks of Stoneleigh and
Packington are rich in forest trees of great size and age.

GEOLOGY.
The following account of the Geology of Warwickshire makes no pretence to
completeness ; it deals simply with those principal features of the stratigraphy of
the county about which the Botanist is likely to desire information, and does not
enter into that detail which alone satisfies the craving for fects of the Geologist.

General GeolOgieal Features.— The dominant geological formation of
Warwickshire is the Trias, which extends over a large part of the county. To the
east and south of the Fosse-way, the Lias is found ; two outliers of which also
occur more to the west — near Knowle and Wootton Wawen. The beds of the
Trias are nowhere very steeply inclined, but there is a distinct anti-clinal running
in a general north and south direction through Nuneaton. The crest of this arch
is denuded in a region extending from Shuttington on the north through Dosthill,
Maxstoke, and Berkswell on the west, to Ashow on the south, and Coventry,
Nuneaton, and Merevale on the east ; and, in consequence, rocks much older than
the Triassic, belonging to the Permian, Carboniferous, and Cambrian formations,
are now exposed.
Fundamental Crystalline Rocks.— Caldecote Volcanic Group
(Lapworth). — The oldeJst rocks found in Warwickshire occur in the park of Calde-
cote Hill, rising from beneath the quartzite (Upper Cambrian), on the north-east
side of the range of low hills which this rock forms between Nuneaton and Harts-
hill. They consist of a finely laminated rock, probably a tuff, with intrusions of
diabase and quartz-porphyry. They have a dip of 25° to 30" to the south-west.
These rocks are equivalent probably to the igneous -series of Charnwood Forest.
They may be of Archaean age, and are certainly older than the Upper Cambrians,
which overlie them, as the lowest bed of the latter — the Hartshill Quartzite — is in
part composed of their fragments.
Cambrian. — Near the north-east limit of the county is a ridge of high ground
about nine and a half miles long by one broad, running from north-west to south-
east, and extending from Merevale through Nuneaton to Bedworth. The rocks
composing this ridge consist of quartzites and thin-bedded shales, pierced by
dykes of diorite. They were formerly mapped as altered Millstone Grit and Carboni-
ferous Shales respectively, but the fossils present in the shales conclusively prove
them to be of Cambrian age.
The complete succession is as follows : —
Stockingford Shaies | Upper Division— grey and black.
bTOCKiNGFORD i>HALES JLo^^^ Division— purple and green.
Hartshill Quartzite.
The Hartshill Quartzite extends from Nuneaton to a point half-a-mile
north of Hartshill : it is usually purplish in colour, but often grey or even white,
and has a steady dip to the south-west of from 25" to 40*. The base is a coarse,
stratified conglomerate or breccia, containing fragments of the underlying Caldecote
series. This passes into a grit, and finally into an intensely hard, fine-grained
rock, composed of quartz-grains so closely cemented together by silica as to have
almost lost individuality. The rock is well bedded, and contains bands of sandy
shales : it is traversed by sheets of intrusive coarse-grained diorite. The quartzite
is much quarried for road-metal.
The Stockingford Shales.— These extend from Bedworth to Waste Hill,
which is a mile and a half north of Atherstone. They are divisible into two
perfectly conformable sub-divisions, the lower of which rests conformably on
the quartzite. The shales are fine-grained and laminated, and contain only a
few harder and more micaceous bands.
The Lower Division is purple or green in colour, and contains OboUlla Salteti^
LinguUlla Upis, Lingulella pygmota^ Protospongia^ &c
Digiti

GEOLOGY. XUl.
The Upper Division is grey or black, with AgH05tus piHformis^ Beyrichia
Angelini^ Spharophthalmus alaius^ Dictyonema^ &c.
The contained fossils indicate that the Stockin^ord shales are equivalent to the
uppermost beds of the Lingula Flags, and possibly to a portion of the Lower
Tremadoc series.
These beds are pierced by numerous sheets of diorite, which frequently follow
the bedding-planes, and have much the appearance of contemporaneous lava-flows.
They are proved, however, to be intrusive by the facts that the shales are altered
both above and below, and that in places the diorite is seen cutting across the beds
of sedimentary rock.
At Dosthill, on the western side of the coalfield, there is a small patch of shales
pierced by intrusive diorite. Though the former have furnished annelid-burrows
only, there can be but little doubt but that they are of the same age as the Stock-
ingford beds.
CaPbonifePOUS. — Overlying the Stockingford shales is a series of rocks
belonging to the Upper Division of the Carboniferous system, or Coal
Measures. They extend from a point a little north of Shuttington, south-ea!^t to
Hawksbury, a distance of about fifteen miles. From its southern extremity to
Baddesley Ensor the coalfield has an average width of rather less than a mile and
a half ; north of this point it widens out suddenly into an irregular trapezoid four
miles in width, reaching to Dosthill on the west. The area of the coalfield is about
30 square miles.
On its north-east side the coalfield is bounded by a fault, having a down-throw in
that direction at the most northerly point of about 1,000 feet. It commences near
Shuttington, and runs in a south-easterly direction to Merevale, and brings down
the Permian Sandstone, Bunter Conglomerate, and Lower Keuper Sandstone
against the Coal Measures. South of Merevale, the latter crop out unconformably
to the Upper Cambrian rocks, which lie to the east, and in their further extension
southward are covered unconformably by the Lower Keuper Sandstone.
The trapezoidal part of the coalfield mentioned above is bounded to the north-
west by one fault, and to the west by a second : the former brings down the Keuper
Sandstone, the latter the Keuper Marl, against the Coal Measures.
To the south and south-east the coalfield is limited by the out-crop of the
Permian beds, which are generally conformable to the underlying Carboniferous
rocks.
The Coal Measures are between 600 and 700 feet thick, and consist of
alternating beds of sandstone, shale, indurated clays, and beds of coal, with one
well-marked bed of limestone in the upper part of the series, about 50 feet below
the base of the Permian strata. Of these, the limestone and coals are the most
constant over the whole field, the other strata, especially the sandstones, being very
variable in thickness. They form a kind of synclinal trough.
The actual base of the measures is formed in some cases of a conglomeratic
sandstone ; in other cases the coal-seams appear to rest directly on the Cambrian
rocks. In places the dip of the sandstone and coal-seams is almost the same
as that of the underlying shales, and, indeed, early observers considered that the
two series were quite conformable, but more recent investigations have clearly
shown that this is not the case, and there really is unconformability, which at times
is very considerable in amount.
The workable seams of coal are five in number, one being double, and divided
by a thin bed of fire-clay only. The intermediate sandstone beds which separate
the various seams difter greatly in thickness, and thin away to the southward.
Thus, in the northern part of the coal-field, in the neighbourhood of Tamworth,
Polesworth. and Baddesley, the different coal-seams are widely separated, but in
the southern region the whole of the coals come together, and practically form one
thick seam, with thin partings of fire-clay.
In the narrower part of the coal-field, from Bedworth to Baddesley Ensor, only
the eastern out-crops of the coal-seams are seen ; but in the wider northern part
the seams come again to the surface in the west, near Dosthill.

XIV. GEOLOGY.
In the higher part of these coal measures there occurs a thin bed of limestone
at a position about 50 feet beneath the lowest Permian rocks. It is generally from
two to three feet thick, and contains the small serpula, Spirorbis caHfOftartus, Its
out-crop generally follows the boundary of the Permian rocks and Coal Measures.
It also occurs in a small outlier of Coal Measures brought up by a fault at Arley,
about half way between Nuneaton and Coleshill.
Pepmian. — The main mass of Permian rocks occupies an area of about 90
square miles, extending from Baddesley Ensor on the north to within a few miles
of Leamington and Warwick on the south ; the greatest breadth is from Coventry
on the east to Berkswell on the west. On the north and north-east these rocks
are bounded by Coal Measures, which they cover apparently conformably ; to the
east and south they are covered unconformably by the Keuper Sandstone ; to the
west they are brought against the Keuper Marl and Sandstone by two faults, the
one being a continuation of the west boundary fault of the coal-field, and the other
ranging parallel to the former, and lying a little to the west of Kenilworth.
The country occupied by these rocks presents an undulating surface, with bold
hills, rising at Corley Moor to an elevation of 625 feet above sea-level.
There is also a small patch of Permian rocks, north of Polesworth, brought
down against the Coal Measures by the eastern boundary fault of the coal-field, and
there is a small outlier in the midst of the coal-field at Wilnecote.
In the northern and central parts of the coal-field the overlying Permians seem
to be conformable to the Upper Coal Measures, but the outlier just mentioned rests
on the Lower Measures, the Spirorbis limestone being absent. As, then, here
certainly the Permian are really unconformable to the Carboniferous rocks, it seems
probable that the conformity of the two series further south is purely accidental.
The thickness of the Warwickshire Permian beds is about 2,000 feet, and they
dip to the south-west. They consist of alternations of pale red, brown, and purple
sandstones; red marl, and beds of calcareous breccia and conglomerate. The
latter generally occur in the lower part of the formation, and sometimes exist in
continuous beds ; they are sometimes so calcareous as to form an impure limestone,
and contain pebbles derived from older rocks, some like Upper Llandovery Sand-
stone, others fragments of Carboniferous Limestone, The higher beds are marls
and sandstones.
Fossils occur very rarely in these beds ; firagments of Lepidodendron^ Caiamites^
Cauierpites, and Breea, internal casts of a brachiopod allied to Strophaiosia, and
remains of Labyrinthodonts have been found.
TFiassie. — a large part of Warwickshire north of the Avon, together with a
narrow strip to the south of it, is covered by these rocks. They are, however,
neither as thick nor as completely developed as in Cheshire : in that county the
Keuper beds are some 3,400 feet thick, and the Bunter 1,500 feet, while in War-
wickshire they are respectively 850 and 100 feet. The uppermost member of
the formation, the New Red Marl, has the largest exposure, the Bunter beds
existing only in patches and narrow belts. The scenery of the district covered by
the Triassic rocks is undulating and well wooded.
The Triassic rocks are unconformable to all rocks below them, and to the east
of the coal-field seem to rest directly on rocks older than the Carboniferous.
The Bunter Division.— The Bunter beds are nearly 600 feet thick at
Birmingham, but thin away rapidly towards the east, till at the south end of the
Warwickshire coal-field they entirely disappear, and the Keuper beds rest directly
on the Carboniferous and Permian strata.
Lower Bunter Sandstone. — These beds are present at Barr Beacon, in
Staffordshire, where they have a dip of about 15° to the south-east. It seems
probable that they form a gentle syncline beneath Sutton Park, and that much of
the strip of rocks marked as Upper Bunter Sandstone on the Survey maps, will prove
to be these Lower Sandstones brought up to the surface by the synclinal curve.

Soc, 1889-90, p. 113.

Thr Conglombrats or Pebblb-bbd.— These rocks are exposed (i) near
Polesworth, immediately east of the boundary fault of the coal-field ; to the east
they are faulted against the Lower Keuper Sandstone. (2) Near Birmingham and
Sutton Coldfield.
The conglomerate consists of pebbles of quartz, carboniferous limestone and
chert, Millstone Grit, and other rocks, all very much rounded and waterworn.
They are generally cemented together in a sandy matrix. No contemporaneous
fossils are present, but within the pebbles themselves are many remams which
indicate their geological age, and show them to have been derived from Ordovician,
Silurian, Devonian, and Carboniferous rocks. The exact places of derivation,
however, have not been satisfactorily determined, and this is especially the case
with regard to Ordovician and Devonian pebbles, which are of the type of these
systems as developed in Brittany, and exhibited in England in the Budleigh-Salterton
Pebbles in the Trias of Devon.
Upper Red and Mottled Sandstone is found at Edgbaston, Aston,
Erdington, and Sutton Coldfield ; it is not present at Polesworth, where the con-
glomerate is immediately covered by the Lower Keuper Sandstone. It is soft and
red, without any pebbles, and contains layers of yellow and white sandstone.
Keuper Division.— Lower Keuper Sandstone or Waterstones.—
These rocks come to the surface in two districts : — (i.) On the western boundary
of the county, running to a narrow strip of half a mile in width through Birming-
ham and Aston to Sutton Coldfield, with a general dip to the east of five degrees ;
to the west they crop out above the Bunter beds ; to the east they are faulted
against the Keuper Marls, to the north-west against the Bunter Conglomerate.
(2. ) The Waterstones are also found forming a belt (which is broken in a few
places) round the Carboniferous and Permian area of East Warwickshire ; where-
ever prevented from appearing it is owing to the existence of faults, which bring
down the Red Marl against the older formations. Thus, this belt of sandstone is
found ninning from Fazeley through Tam worth, Stockington and Shuttington to
Merevale, being faulted against the coal measures ; from Merevale to Nuneaton
the Red Marl is faulted against the Cambrian rocks, and the Lower Sandstone is
not seen ; but from this last point it runs in a continuous belt of a mile or two in
width through Coventry to Leamington and Warwick, where it is limited to the
west by a north and south fault which brings it against the Red Marl, and to the
east by the outcrop of the same beds. It is seen again near Berkswell, whence it
runs to Maxstoke, being faulted to the east against the Permian beds, and limited
to the west by the outcrop of the Red Marl. These rocks consist of white, red,
and brown sandstones, with thin bands of interstratified red and mottled marls.
In the neighbourhood of Warwick, footprints and remains of Labyrinthodonts have
been found.
Red Marl and Upper Keuper Sandstone. — This, the uppermost division
of the Triassic series, extends from near the western border of Warwickshire,
where it is bounded by the lower beds of the series, which rise from beneath it,
right across to the Carboniferous and Permian area, east of which it reaches to the
eastern confines of the county. From Fazeley to Maxstoke it is faulted in a
north and south line against the Coal Measures and Permians, and also against the
latter for some distance north and south of Kenil worth. Along a line running in
a north-east to south-west direction from Willey, through Stretton-on-Dunsmore
to Moreton Morrell and Bath Hill, it is bounded by the Lias, which also limits
it to the south by an irregular out -crop, including Stratford, Whitchurch, Aston
Cantlow, Wixford, and Bidford.
These beds attain in this district a maximum thickness of about 600ft. , and
consists principally of red and mottled marls. In the upper part there occurs
irregularly a band of sandstone and ejreen marl — the Upper Keuper Sandstone. It
is never more than from 25ft. to 30ft. thick, and is best seen at Preston Bagot,
Rowington, <fec.
Salt is not found in the New Red Marl of Warwickshire as it is in that of Wor«
cestershire ; and gypsum, although commonly present in thin bands, is not found in
sufficient quantity for profitable extraction.

XVI. GEOLOGY.
RhSBtie. — The Triassic strata pass conformably up into lo or 15 feet of black
shales, above which come 30 or 40 feet of light and dark coloured marls, with
nodular bands of limestone containing the usual Rhsetic fossils, and a stratum of
yellow micaceous sandstone full of casts of Schizodus cloacinus. These strata are
of undoubted Rhsetic age, although the characteristic bone-bed is not exposed.
They are best seen at the base of the Lias outliers near Knowle and Wootton
Wawen. They are also exposed in the south-west corner of the county near
Alcester, and in the railway cutting at Harbury.
These Rhsetic beds pass upwards into hard, fine-grained limestones, known as
White Lias, the exact age of which is a matter of dispute. They occupy a con-
siderable area to the south and south-east of Warwick.
Liassie. — This formation crops out above the Trias in the southern and south-
eastern parts of the county, the outcrop which runs in a north-easterly direction
being much indented, aud forming the southern and eastern boundary of the Triassic
rocks as deftribed above. Outliers occur at Copt Heath, near Knowle, and at
Wootton Wawen.
The Lower Lias. — The rocks of this division are found spreading over the
county to the northeast, south-east, south and south-west of Warwick. They
consist of blue clays and shales, interstratified with beds of blue, rubbly, and
argillaceous limestone, and attain a thickness of 7cx> feet near Rugby. The two
outliers mentioned above are composed of Lower Lias.
The Middle Lias or Marlstone. — These beds form the range of hills on
the south-eastern border of the county, of which Edge Hill is the highest member,
and thence strike southwards into Oxfordshire.
The lower beds are clays and marls ; the highest, or marlstone, forms good
building stone, being of a hard, marly nature, more or less indurated, of a green or
yellow-brown colour, and sometimes ferruginous.
The Upper Lias occurs on the hills above Fenny Compton. near Brailes, and
at a few other places in the neighbourhood forming the slopes of the Oolitic
escarpment.
It is represented by a soft blue clay, sometimes shaly, and containing con-
cretionary beds.
Oolitic — On the Burton Dassett Hills near Kineton there is a small patch
of the Inferior Oolite. It is about 30 feet thick, and rests directly on the Upper
Lias clay.
Post-TePtiary. —The Tertiary formation is not represented in Warwick-
shire, but deposits of later age are found in all parts of the county, and in
many places hide the formations which have been described above. Their general
similarity to the prevailing Triassic beds produces a uniformity in the flora to
which reference has already been made ; for instance, very few characteristic lime-
stone plants occur in the regions where the composition of the underlying rocks
would lead us to expect their presence.
The complete succession of the Post-Tertiary deposits is as follows : —
Post-Glacial Clays, Sands and Gravels.
Glacial Beds.
Upper Boulder Clays.
Middle Glacial Clays, Sands and Gravels.
Lower Boulder Clays.
The Boulder Clays contain erratic blocks in greater or less number. The
Middle Glacial Beds are generally found wherever there is undulating ground. In
the Post-Glacial Beds there have been discovered remains of Rhinoceros, Mammoth,
and other animals now extinct.

METEOROLOGY.
In the Official Meteorology of the British Islands Warwickshire is included in
the Midland Counties District of the Principal Wheat -producing Districts ; and
during the twenty -four years, 1866 to 1889 inclusive, this district is found to have
had a mean temperature of 48**"4, and a mean annual rainfall of 29 "i inches, as
against a mean temperature of 48° '5 and a rainfall of 35 inches over the British
Islands generally. In the last twelve years, 1878 to 1889 inclusive, the rainy days,
or those on which one hundredth part of an inch or more fell, were, in this district,
on an average, 191, rising to 210 days in 1 882 (the wettest year), and falling to
148 days in 1887 (the driest year), the average number of such rainy days over
the British Islands generally during this period having been 196.
But as all the above mean'values for the district which includes Warwickshire,
are derived from observations taken at stations, none of which are situated
within the county, but at an average distance from its centre of not less than fifty
miles, considerable variation from these mean values might be expected on
comparing the meteorology of the county with that of the district. Daily observa-
tions which have been taken during the eighteen years, 1872 to 1889 inclusive, both
at Rugby School* and Barrells Park, near Henley-in-Arden, supply data for
calculating very approximately mean values for siich comparison. These stations
are well situated for the purpose, Rugby being on the eastern border of the
county, and nearly equidistant from its northern and southern extremities, while
Barrells is in the like position on the western border. Rugby is 383 feet above
sea-level, and Barrells 312 feet. Thus the one is probably a little higher and
the other a little lower than the averj^e elevation of the county above sea-leveU
From these observations the approximate mean temperature of the county is
found to be 48° '3. and the annual rainfall 29* 18 inches on 185 days at Rugby, and
3278 inches on 189 days at Barrells, or 30*96 inches on 187 days approximately for
the county.
Interesting as such mean values undoubtedly are, and towards their
determination the discussion of meteorological observations usually tends, it
is rather the distribution of such mean temperature and rainfall throughout
the months of the year, the daily range of temperature, and the occurrence of
the extremes of heat, cold, and moisture, which are of especial interest to
the botanist as to the agriculturist ; for it is these conditions which determine
what species of plants can exist, flourish, and mature their fruit, and what
crop is most suitable to the climate. Comparing Warwickshire with Hert-
fordshire, for instance, these mean values will be found to be very similar for
both counties, not only for the year but for many months of the year ; while
centuries of painful experience of the above controlling conditions have taught
the Warwickshire farmer that his county is little fitted for corn-growing com-
pared with Hertfordshire, and such conditions would be found to have exercised
an important influence over the comparative flora of the two counties.
Mean meteorological values, again, will vary considerably under small physio-
graphical changes ; e.g.^ nine years of daily observations at a station less than i}i

miles from Barrells, hut 177 feet higher, upon the edge of the plateau which
occupies so much of the area of North Warwickshire, show a mean annual
temperature }i degree lower, and nine more frosty days, but usually com-
prised in a shorter period of the year, while the annual rainfall is one inch less,
and there are twenty fewer rainy days.
For the annual range and distribution through the year of Warwickshire rainfall,
atmospheric pressure, and temperature, the tables below may be consulted. The
wettest year observed was 1872, when 44*55 inches of rain fell at Barrells in 225
days, and 36*25 at Rugby in 229 days ; and the driest year was 1887, with a total
rainfall of 19*51 inches, with 144 days on which rain fell, as observed at Rugby.
The wettest calendar month observed was August, 1879, when 7*98 inches fell in
twenty days at Barrells ; and the driest month observed was January, 1880, when
0*39 inches fell in six days at Rugby.
Droughts, or fourteen consecutive days or more without rain, occur at Barrells
about once in a year, averaging eighteen days' duration ; and partial droughts, or
twenty-eight days or more without a total rainfall of *28 inches, about once in
four years, averaging thirty -one days' duration and '15 inches of rainfall only.
The heaviest rainfall in a short period occurred at Barrells on the 13th July,
1889, when 3*64 inches fell in sixty-five minutes ; a quantity unequalled at any
station in the British Islands for at least ten years.* On the 19th June, 1872,
3*41 inches also fell there in two hours, in part explaining the phenomenal rainfall
there in that year. Frost, or a temperature of 32** or less, four feet from the ground,
occurs at Barrells, on an average, upon eighty days of the year, between the 17th
October and nth May, the first autumn frost being sometimes a fortnight earlier,
and the last spring frost ten days later.
N.B.- The mean daily temperature is practically that of a shaded thermo-
meter read at 9 a.m.

DIVISION OF WARWICKSHIRE INTO BOTANICAL
DISTRICTS.
In order to show the relative frequency of the plants forming the Warwick-
shire Flora, it has been necessary to divide the county into districts. For
this purpose the county has been divided into ten districts, by means of the
water-partings of its principal rivers ; this method appearing to myself to be the
most natural and most readily comprehended. The districts thus formed are of
irregular area ; but to make these districts more uniform in area, in cases where
the district drained by these streams is very small, two such river basins have been
made one, so that the Tame district includes the Tame proper and the smaller
river the Bourne. The Blythe includes the Blythe and Cole; the Sow includes the
Sow and Sherborne ; Leam includes the Learn and Itchen ; and the Avon includes
the Avon proper and its small tributary the Dene. The following pages will give
each of these rivers seriatim, with their course and drainage.
I. — Tame Basin.
The Tame takes its rise near Bloxwich and south of Cannock Chase ; here it is
a small and insignificant stream. It is fed by waters collected in the Silurian hills
in the neighbourhood of Dudley, from the country east of Wolverhampton, and
from the western side of the ridge, commencing with Hamstead Hill and extend-
ing northward several miles. The numerous streams unite a little south-west
of Walsall, and the main stream thus swollen passes on past Perry Hall, and
enters Warwickshire at the Witton Lane. From this it flows eastward past Salford
Bridge, receiving on its left bank a small stream draining Upper and Lower Witton^

and a little east of this the small River Rea enters it on its right bank. This
stream, the Rea, rises on the eastern slopes of Rubery Hill, and passing through
Northfield and King's Norton, enters the county a little west of Deritend, and
joins the Tame near Saltley. Continuing its eastern course, the Tame flows near
Castle Bromwich, Water Orton, and under Curdworth Bridge to a little beyond
Forge Mills, receiving on its right bank waters from Saltley, Wash wood Heath,
and Ward End ; and on its left bank waters from Erdington, and East Brook, a
stream formed by the streams rising in Sutton Park, and fed by the waters from
Sutton, Maney, New Hall, Penns, and Popes Hayes, and also by waters from
Minworth, Curdworth, and the surrounding country. A little east of Forge Mills
the River Blythe enters on its right bank, and half a mile east of this the smaller
River Bourne. The River Bourne is formed by the confluence of several streams.
The main one— Bourne Brook — rises on Birchley Heath, near Bentley Park, and
runs south-west through Ansley, near Arley House, and near Arley railway station
is fed by several small streams, one coming west from Astley and past Tipper's
Hill ; other streams rising on the northern slopes of Corley Moor, the high land
in Birchley Hayes, and Didgley Brook from Green End ; these streams drain a
wide extent of country ; and the united waters, forming the River Bourne, take a
westerly course, past Hoare Park, Furnace End, and Shustoke to the confluence
with the Tame near Hoggets End, its course being about ten miles. Here the
Tame takes the course of the Bljrthe and turns abruptly northward past Lea
Marston, Kingsbury, Dosthill, and through Fazeley to Tamworth, receiving on its
right bank waters from Baxterley and Freasley, and on the left Langley Brook,
which passes through Middleton and Middleton Park to its confluence with the
Tame near Fisher's Mill, bringing the waters of a wide area west of the Tame,
draining Langley, Wishaw, Canwell Gate, New Park, and the surrounding district.
At Tamworth the Tame is joined by the River Anker ; and now passing west of
Tamworth it enters Staffordshire again, and about eight miles further on joins the
Trent near Aire was. The course of the Tame in Warwickshire is about twenty
miles. The valley is wide and comparatively flat, high land occurring at Shustoke,
Dosthill, Sutton Park, and Edgbaston.

2. — Blythe Basin.
The Blythe is formed by the confluence of three streams, one rising near
Birchy Cross, and draining part of the high land near Tanworth ; a second, Spring
Brook, rising on the border land of Worcestershire and passing through Earlswood;

a third, rising on Shirley Heath. These unite about half a mile north of Waring's
Green. From this point the Blythe flows north-west for some distance, under
Monkspath Bridge, and Blythe Bridge, neaz Mahrem Hall, and Eastcotes Hall.
Here its course is (Uverted southward, flowing west of Barston, through Springfleld
and Temple BalsoII, receiving on its way a confluence of small streams draining
Knowle, Kingswood, Packwood, and Hockley. At Temple Balsall its course is
diverted northward, flowing east of Barston Marsh, througn Ryton End, and under
Patrick Bridge and Stonebridge, receiving on its way streams draining a large
expanse of country, including a portion of Wroxall, Balsall Common, Berkswell,
Eastcotes Green, and Hampton-in-Arden. From Stonebridge its course is still
northwards through Little Packington, east of Coleshill, near Blythe Hall, to its
confluence with the Tame near Hams Hall, receiving on both banks numerous
feeders from Bickenhiil, Maxstoke, and Meriden,and, about a mile before joining
the Tame, its principal tribuary, the Cole.
The Cole rises in Worcestershire, south-east of King's Norton, and is formed
by the confluence of two streams, the more important being Inkford Brook. It
commences its connection with the county a little to the south-west of Inkford, at
an elevation of 500ft. above sea level ; passing under the Alcester Road at
1 Inkford Bridge, it forms the boundary line between the two counties of Worcester
and Warwick for many miles, flowing norlh-east past Forshaw Park, Fulford
Heath, and Colebrook Hall, so on through Greet, Yardley Fields, and Coleford,
forming the boundary of that narrow strip of Worcestershire in which Acocks
Green and Yardley are situated. It re-enters Warwickshire near Babb*s Mill,
taking a sinuous course eastward, past Chelmsley Wood ; near this it receives
feeders from Olton, Hampton Coppice, Marston Green, and Bickenhiil. A little
beyond Chelmsley Wood its course is north-east, through Coleshill Park and the
lower part of Coleshill, to its confluence with the Blythe near Forge Mills. Its
course in the county is about nine miles.
The Blythe Valley is well wooded and watered by many minor streams, the
western portion being a fine elevated district, bounded by the road running from
Portway to Birmingham, having an elevation of from 527ft. to 535ft., and forming
the water-partings of the Blythe, Cole, Alne, and Arrow. Apsley Heath, near
this, is 436ft.; and Forshaw Heath 534ft. On its south-east side, the greatest
elevation is near Close Wood, Kinwalsey, 604ft. From these points the land slopes
towards the lower levels about Packington, where at the water level of the large
pool the elevation is 301ft.
Spring Brook, one of the sources of the Bl)rthe, rises near Wood End above
Tanworth, at an elevation of 580ft. ; at the confluence of the streams forming the
Blythe, the elevation is 415ft. ; Monkspath Bridge, 409ft. ; Blyihe Bridge, near
Solihull, 409ft.; Barston, 317ft.; Stonebridge, 278ft. ; ford at Little Packington,
262ft. ; Blythe Bridge, near Blythe Hall, 247ft., and at its confluence with the
Tame about 225ft. The length of its course is about twenty-three miles. The
Cole enters the county near Inkford Bridge, the elevation here being 500ft. ;
laridge, near Coleshill Hall, 274ft. ; confluence with the Blythe, near Coleshill,
about 230ft.
In this district I have found about 882 flowering plants, ferns, and fern allies,
of which the following are the more important : —
Aquilegia vulgaris ; Lepidium Smithii ; Barbarea intermedia ; Sisymbrium
Sophia ; Sagina ciliata ; S. nodosa ; Hypericum Androsaemum ; H. elodes ;

3.— The Anker Basin.
The Anker originates from a confluence of small streams, the main stream
rising in Ryton Gorse, near Bulkington ; this, with streams rising near Wolvey,
unite near Wolvers Hill, and the amalgamated streams take a northerly direction
past Anker Bridge and Burton Hastings to Sunnyiields. Its course now becomes
westerly through Attleborough Fields, and under the Trent Valley and Coventry
railways. Near the latter it receives, on its left bank, Griff Brook, a stream rising
near Shilton Village and draining part of Bulkington, Bedworth, Griff Hollows,
part of Arbury Park, and Chilvers Coton. Besides this, minor streams, draining
Wigham and Hinckley, in Leicestershire, have entered its east bank. After
receiving Griff Brook, the Anker runs through Nuneaton, near which it receives
streams from Stockingford, Galley Common, and Ansley Coalfield. It now takes a
south-west, sinuous course through Weddington, Caldecote, Mancetter, and
Wetherlcy to Fieldon Bridge, near Atherstone, receiving on its left bank streams
from Hartshill Hayes and Oldbury ; and, a little above Wetherley, the River Sence
enters its right bank. The Sence is entirely a Leicestershire stream, rising near
Bardon Hill, in Charnwood Forest, having a course of about twenty-three miles
through the flat lands around Charnwood Forest, Gopsall Park, Twycross, Cadeby,
and Market Bosworth, and flowing through Sheepy Magna to its confluence with
the Anker near Wetherley.
After its confluence with the Sence, the Anker becomes a noticeable stream, and
continues its northern course through Grendon and Grendon Park, where it
receives a stream rising in Twycross fields. After leaving Grendon Park it turns
westerly towards Polesworth. Here the high land forming Hermitage Hill causes
the Anker to take an abrupt turn northward past Alvecote Mill, when it again
becomes westerly and north-westerly under Shuttington Bridge and past Bole Hall
to its confluence with the Tame at Ladies* Bridge, Tam worth, receiving in its course
Merivale Brook and waters from Bentley Park and Baddesley Ensor, and on its
right bank feeders from Warton, Austrey, and Seckington. The course of this river
from its source to its mouth is about twenty-five miles. It is everywhere a pretty
stream, and for a considerable distance very brook-like in character, limpid and
rapid, and flowing by banks well clothed with the wild flowers that usually haunt
these places. The district as a whole is generally flat, but on the west side, about
Hartsnill and Oldbury, the country becomes elevated, the highest point being
Oldbury Fort, where we have an elevation of 558ft. above sea level. Again at
Hermitage Hill are other elevations, and on the east side at Austrey and Seckington
we have elevated country.
The principal elevations are Oldbury Camp, 558ft. ; Oldbury Reservoir, 458ft. ;
Hartshill Castle, 449ft. ; Ironstone Wood, 548ft. ; Ansley Hall Colliery, 549ft. ;
Caldecote Windmill, 470ft. ; Seckington, highest point, 316ft. ; Austrey, 288ft. ;
Austrey, near windmill, 376ft. ; Newton Regis, 275ft. ; Wolvey, 371ft. ; Smock-
ington Lane, near Wolvey, 422ft. The Anker takes its rise near Germany House,
Wolvey, where the elevation is 384 ^ft. ; at Wolvers Mill the elevation is 349ft. ;
Anker Bridge. 315ft. ; Shuttington Bridge, 203ft. ; confluence with Tame, near
Ladies* Bridge, Tam worth, I Soft.
The recorded flora of the Anker basin is 732 flowering plants and ferns, the
more noteworthy being :—
Myosurus minimus; Ranunculus penicillatus ; Berberis vulgaris ; Cardamine
impatiens ; Viola palustris ; V. Rfeichenbachiana ; Stellaria aquatica ; Tilia
cordata ; Euonymus europseus ; Ornithopus perpusillus ; Vicia sylvatica ;

4.— Avon Basin.
The River Avon rises in Northamptonshire, in a group of springs between
Naseby and Welford, and after a course of about nine miles enters Warwickshire
at Dove* Bridge, a little north of Clifton. Flowing west to Rugby it receives right
and left small feeders from Church Over and Hill Morton, and near Rugby Mill
the small River Swift. The Swift rises in Leicestershire, some little distance east
of Lutterworth, and has a course of about three miles in Warwickshire. From
Rugby the course of the Avon is west for about nine miles, the inequality of the
country causing it to take wide curves, flowing past Newbold-on-Avon, Church
Lawford, Bretford, Wolston, and Ryton-on-Dunsmore, near this place approach-
ing within a mile of the bed of the Sow, and receiving in its course feeders from
the high land south of Brinklow, Lawford Heath, and Bourton Heath. From this
point its course becomes south-west, and, flowing nearly parallel with the Sow for
about three miles, it joins that river at Stoneleigh, and being the principal stream
takes the course of the smaller tributary. It now becomes a stream of greater
magnitude, and taking its course by Ashow, passes on through the grounds at Guy*s
Cliff, to which it lends a great enchantment.
A little further on at Emscote it receives its important tributary the Leam,
which comes eastward, and, passing close to the walls of Warwick's stately pile,
runs through Warwick Park. Here it is joined by the Tachbrook, a stream
rising near Itchington Holt, and bringing waters from the high land about
Chesterton, Oakley, and Tachbrook, and entering the Avon on its left bank.
From Warwick Park the Avon flows on near Barford to Sherborne, where it
receives waters from Norton Lindsay, Wolverton, and the high lands around
Sherborne. Its course is still south-west through Wasperton, and Hampton Lucy.
Near here it receives on its left bank Thelesford Brook, a stream rising near
Lighthorne, and draining Moreton Morrell, Newbold Pacey, Ashorne Hill, and
Wasperton. In its graceful course through Charlecote it receives an important
feeder from the south, the River Dene, a pretty brook-like stream, formed by a
confluence of streams from North End, Radway, the north side of Tysoe Hill, and
Pillerton Hercy. These unite near Walton Wood, and the main stream runs
north through Walton Village, by Bath Hill, and through Wellesbourne Hastings
to its confluence with the Avon in Charlecote Park. After leaving Charlecote the
Avon flows west through deep banks at Alveston to Stratford -on- Avon, passing the
church on its south-east side. A little below Stratford it receives from the south
the River Stour, and passing Binton Bridges and Bidford receives from the north
the swift flowing Arrow near Salford Priors. Near this village it receives two
small streams draining Bevington and Salford, and about a mile further on leaves
the county. After leaving Warwickshire it flows into Worcestershire through
Evesham and Pershore, and runs into the Severn near Tewkesbury, having a
course of about eighty-five miles. Its whole course through Warwickshire is about
fifty miles, but, owing to the widely sinuous course of the river, the country through
which it travels is only about forty miles if measured in a straight line. The
area drained by this river and its tributaries is very great, including nearly the
whole of South Warwickshire and some portion of the northern division. The
valley of the Avon proper is beautifully undulating and well wooded, watered by
many minor streams, with very varied soils, and usually highly cultivated. The
greatest elevation in this basin is at Knowle End, Edge Hill, where we have an
elevation of 76o*6ft. above sea level; Burton Dasset Hill, highest point, 710ft,
About Rugby the country generally is elevated, the highest point being near
Dunchurch 518ft., Hill Morton 403ft.
The Avon at Brownsover is 286ft., near Clopton Bridge, Stratford-on-Avon,
1 1 oft., at Bidford Bridge 88ft., at the point where it leaves the county about 80ft.
The Avon basin proper occupies the greatest area of any Warwickshire river,
and its flora is not only very varied but also extensive. I have records of about
1,038 flowering plants and ferns, the bog and heath plants being remarkable by
their absence. The more noteworthy plants are as follows, those belonging to the
River Dene being included : —

5. — Lbam Basin.
The River Leam rises on the northern slopes of Marston Hill, just within the
borders of Warwickshire, and within a short distance of the sources of the Rivers
Nen and CherwelU Passing into Northamptonshire, its course is at first north,
forming the boundary line of the two counties for some two or three miles, and,
re-entering Warwickshire a little north of Wolfharacote, it takes a north-west course
through Grandborough ; about a mile and a half below this village it receives on its
ri^ht bank the Rainsbrook, a small stream rising in Northamptonshire about two
miles east of Hill Morton, and entering Warwickshire about a mile south-east of
Dunchurch ; from this point the Leam takes a west course, near Leamington
Hastings and Birdingburjr to Marton, where it is joined on its left bank by the
Itchen ; and receiving on its right and left banks waters from Bourton, Thurlaston,
Frankton, and Leamington Hastings and the surrounding district. From Marton
It takes a widely sinuous course south-west, through Wappenbury, Honingham,
and Offchurch to Radford Semele. receiving on its way waters from Weston, Cub-
bington, and Whitnash Fields. From this point its course becomes west, through
Leamington Priors, to its confluence with the Avon near Emscote Mill. The
total length of its course in the county is about twenty-five miles ; a straight line
across the country traversed would be about sixteen miles. The principal rocks of
this basin are those of the Lias Marls and Clays, but about Offchurch and Leam-
ington Keuper Marls predominate.
The Itchen rises on the west slopes of the Marton Hill, near Priors Hardwick,
its source being a small spring about 459ft. above sea level. It takes a west course
for about six miles, where it receives on its right bank Ham Brook, a small stream
bringing waters from the high land about Wormleighton, Fenny Compton, and
Burton Hills. After receiving Ham Brook the course of the Itchen becomes
northerly, through Bishop's Itchington, near Southam, and through Long Itching-
ton to its junction with the Leam near Marton, receiving on its way, right and
left, waters from Itchington Holt, Marston Doles, Shuckburgh, Napton-on-tne-Hill,
Southam, and Harbury Heath. Its course from source to mouth is about sixteen
miles, and the soils it drains are those of the Upper and Lower Lias. It is little
more than a brook in anv part of its course, and having a somewhat gentle
current it is usually beautifully weed-grown.
Whilst a great portion of the Leam and Itchen basin is over 400ft., there are
no great elevations, the high land above Avon Dassett (where the Ham Brook
rises) being the highest point, 668ft., Fenny Compton 411ft., Napton-on-the-Hill
507ft., Shuckburgh, highest point, 565ft. Near the source of the Itchen, Priors
Hardwick, the highest i)oint, is 480ft. The Leam enters the county near Wolf-
hamcote, 296ft.; and at its junction with Rainsbrook it is about 251 ft. ; at Thur-
laston Bridge 239ft.
The flora of the district is peculiar for the absence or rarity of heathland and
marsh plants ; a few, however, are found about Harbury and Bascote Heaths,
The total recorded flora is about 744 flowering plants and ferns, of which the
following are the more special : —

6.— Sow Basin.
The Sow rises on the high land around Astley, flowing south-east through Bed-
worth woodlands, where it receives on its left bank a stream carrying part of the
overflow of the waters from Arbury. Here its course becomes south through Exhall,
where it is joined by Breach Brook, a stream draining part of Fillongley and
Corley ; still pursuing its southward course through Longford and Foleshill, it is
fed on its right bank by waters from Whitmore Park and its neighbourhood and on
its left bank by March Brook, a stream draining Hawkesbury. After this its
course becomes west for some few miles through Wyken, Sow, and Binley,
receiving on its left bank streams draining Monk's Kirby, Hopsford, Withybrook,
Shilton, Ansty, Combe Pastures, Combe Woods, Newboid Revel, Stretton-under-
Foss, and part of Brinklow. From Binley it takes a widely sinuous course south-
west through Willenhall and Baginton to its confluence with the Avon near Stone-
leigh, receiving near Baginton the Sherborne, a stream draining AUesley, Holly-
berry End, and Extern Green, and near Finham Green a stream draining West-
wood Heath, Tile Hill, Stivichall, and Kenilworth.
The highest point in this basin is near Corley Church, where we have an eleva-
tion of 625ft., all the country about Corley being elevated ; St. Mary*s Church,
589ft. ; Wall Hill Farm, 505ft; Keresiey, 439ft., falling at Coventry to 304ft.
On the east side at Cioudsley Bush we have 436ft. ; Monk's Kirby, 349ft. , falling
to 277ft. at Hill Green, near Foleshill.
This district has not been exhaustively worked, the present record being 850
flowerii^ plants and ferns, the following being some of the more rare : —

C. crassicaulis.
7.— Stour Basin.
The Stour rises at Stour Well, near Tadmarton Camp, in Oxfordshire, and
enters Warwickshire at Traitor's Ford, about three miles west of its source. From
this point it takes a westerly course for about five miles, through Stourton and
Cherrington to Mitford Bridge, receiving from the north streams rising in the high
land about Compton Wynyates, Brailes, and Sutton, and from the south, waters
from Whichford, and a stream rising in the high land by RoUright Stones, and
running through Long Compton, near Burton-on-the-Heath, Great and Little
Wolford, and the surrounding country. After passing Mitford Bridge its course
becomes abruptly north for about nine miles through Burmington, Barcheston,
Shipston-on-Stour, and Halford to Upthorp Mill, forming the county boundary for
many miles, and receiving waters on both east and west banks, such as Knee
Brook, a stream draining a large district west and south west, and Pig Brook,
which rises near Stretton-on-Fosse. On its east bank it is also fed by a stream
rising on the northern slopes of Brailes Hill ; and near Tredington it receives a

XXVI. BOTANICAL DISTRICTS.
Stream rising on the northern slopes of the high land about Compton Wynyates
and Tysoe Fields, and running through Oxhill and Whatcote. From Upthorpe
the Stour takes a sinuous course west and north-west through Crimscote, White-
house, Preston-on-Stour, Atherstone-on-Stour, and Clifford Chambers to its con-
fluence with the Avon near Upper Milecote, receiving in its course a stream
draining the northern slopes of Ilmington Hill, and running through Wimpstone
Fields and Wimpstone.
Although the Stour is for a considerable portion of its course an insignificant
stream, the country through which it runs is peculiar for its alternation of hill and
dale, Bright Hill, Brailes Hill, and Ilmington Hill being among the more lofty
of the Warwickshire hills, and commanding fine, picturesque, and far-reaching
views over the surrounding country.
The highest point in the Stour basin is Ebrington Hill, where an elevation of
855ft. is attained. This forms a part of the western boundary. On Bright Hill,
which forms its south boundary, 737ft. is attained, falling at Long Compton to
340ft. Northward, at Compton Wynyates, the highest point is 61 ift. ; Brailes Hill,
about 700ft. Eastward, on the high road forming the Oxfordshire boundary, the
highest point is 705ft. From all these points the country falls to a flat valley,
which at Halford is only about 200ft. above sea-level ; Whitchurch, 133ft. ; and
at the confluence of the Rivers Stour and Avon, 133ft. The course of the Stour is
about twenty miles, and its fall is from 420ft. at Traitor's Ford to 120ft. at its con-
fluence with the Avon.
This district is well wooded, and contains here and there remains of what have
in former times been somewhat extensive heathlands ; and, although not exhaust-
ively worked, it has yielded a flora of 703 species of flowering plants and ferns, of
which the following are the more noteworthy : —
Clematis Vitalba ; Ranunculus trichophyllus ; Reseda Luteola ; Viola hirta ;
Polygala oxyptera ; Dianthus Armeria ; Stellaria umbrosa ; Euonymus
europseus ; Trifolium flliforme ; Vicia gracilis ; Rubus pubescens ; R. deltoideus ;
Rosa inodora ; R. andegavensis ; Myriophyllum alterniflorum : Epilobium
tetragonum; Apium graveolens ; CEnanthe Lachenalii; Galium tricprne;
Carlina vulgaris ; Arctium nemorosum ; Lysimachia vulgaris ; Samolus
Valerandi ; Gentiana Amarella : Myosotis coUina ; Cuscuta europsea ; Verbena

latus ; Koeleria cristata ; Bromus erectus ; B. velutinus ; Nardus stricta ;
Tolypella glomerata ; and several very rare mosses.
8.— The Alne Basin.
The River Alne is formed by tA^o principal feeders. The main stream rises
near Aspley Heath, and takes a westerly course near Tanworth, by Tanworth
Mill, under the bridge by the Bird-in-Hand, through Henley-in-Arden and Beau-
desert, to the grounds of Wootton Hall, where it is joined by the second principal
feeder. This stream rises near Wroxall Abbey, about seven miles north-east of
Wootton Hall, and runs through Tadpole Green, Rowington, Lowson Ford, Preston
Bagot, and by Crab Mill to its confluence with the main stream ; receiving on its
right bank a stream rising near Chalcot Wood, and flowing through Lapworth and
near Lapworth Hall, to its confluence with this stream near Yarningale Common.
The united stream takes a course south and south-west near Wootton Wawen,
Aston Cantlow, Great Alne, and Kinwarton, to its confluence with the Arrow at
Alcester, receiving on its left bank a stream draining the country around Shrewley,
Pinley, Claverdon, Langley, and Bearley, and joining the Alne near Little Alne.
The course of this river from its source is about seventeen miles, but it drains a
large extent of country, usually flat, but having slight elevations near Tanworth
and Henley-in-Arden. The north-west portion of the district is an elevated
plateau forming the water partings of the Alne and Blythe, the greatest eleva-
tion being at Tanworth, 514ft. above sea level; main drive to Umberslade Park

500ft. ; on the north-eastern side of the district, near Rowington, the greatest
elevation is 420ft.; Church Farm, Wolverton, is 430ft. The principal feeder
rises on elevated land near Tanworth, at an elevation of 500ft. Tne second
stream rises near Baddesley Clinton, at an elevation of 351ft.; this at Crab Mill
has fallen to 241ft., and the united streams join the Arrow near Oversley Bridge,

9.— Arrow Basin.
The Arrow rises in Worcestershire in a valley to the north-east of Alvechurch.
It enters Warwickshire on its western border near Beoley Lane, having a little
before received on its right bank a small stream draining the outlying portion of
Warwickshire lying west of Redditch. Its course is at first south-west through
Ipsley and Washford, receiving on its left bank streams from the high lands about
Ipsley and Mappleborough Green. Its course now becomes south through Studley,
Spernall, and Coughton to Oversley Bridge, receiving on its way streams coming
from east and west, and draining the land about Morton Bagot, Crabbs Cross,
and Sambourn. After its confluence with the Alne at Alcester, it takes a short
turn eastward through the pretty village of Arrow, but rapidly recovering its
southern course it flows through Wixford and Broom to its confluence with the
Avon near Salford Bridge, receiving on either bank waters from Exhall and
Bevington. Its whole course is about twenty miles, sixteen of which are in War-
wickshire. The valley it waters is narrow, hilly, and well wooded, the pre-
vailing soils being those of the New Red Sandstones and Marls, but in its more
southern portion those of the Lias prevail.
The valley of the Arrow is low and flat, rarely attaining an elevation
01 more than 200ft., usually below that. In the Warwickshire portion,
on the east and west sides, the country rises somewhat abruptly. The western
side is bounded by an elevated plateau, called the Ridgeway, which has an
elevation of from 372ft. to 408ft. On its north-west side Gorgot Hill, 542ft.,
is the highest point. A little south of this is Spernall Park, a somewhat lofty
wood about 400ft., and the Alne Hills about 400ft. ; whilst still further south
is Oversley Hill, about 300ft. Weatheroak Hill, which forms part of its
north-east boundary, is in Worcestershire. This, at its highest point, is 612ft.
The principal feeder forming the Arrow runs through Birtel Reservoir, near
Alvechurch. Here we have an elevation of 507ft. From this the stream falls
rapidly, so that at Ipsley, near where it enters the county, it is 245ft. ; at Spernall,
170ft. ; Oversley Bridge, 120ft.; Wixford, iioft. ; Broome, 97ft.; and at its
confluence with the Avon, 86ft.
The total recorded flora is 738 flowering plants, ferns, and fern allies, of which
the following are the more noticeable : —
Ranunculus parviflorus ; Helleborus viridis ; H. foetid us ; Sisymbrium
Sophia ; Silene noctiflora ; Hypericum hirsutum ; Tilia cordata ; Onobrychis
sativa ; Lathyrus Nissolia ; Rubus mucronatus ; R. scabrosus ; Potentilla pro-
cumbens ; Rosa spinosissima ; R. Sabini ; R. mollis ; R. micrantha ; R. sub-
cristata ; Pyrus Aria ; P. communis ; Apium repens ; Anthriscus vulgaris ;
Galium uliginosum ; Anthemis arvensis ; Carlina vulgaris ; Blackstonia
perfoliata ; Linaria Elatine ; L. spuria ; Euphorbia amygdaloides ; Cepha-

lo.— Cherwell Basin.
The Cherwell district embraces that portion of Warwickshire l)ang south-west
of Wormleighton, Fenny Compton, and Burton Dassett, and a narrow tongue of
land north-east of Wormleighton, and includes a part of Priors Marston, Worm-
leighton, part of Fenny Compton, Avon Dassett, part of the southern escarpment
of the Edge Hill, Warmington, and Shotswell. This district, is drained by small
tributaries to the Cherwell.
The whole district is comparatively elevated ; north of Wormleighton the
greatest elevation is at Priors Marston 626ft. ; in the road by the quarry above
Avon Dassett we have 668ft., on the Edge Hill, near Knowle End, 766ft., Worm-
leighton 514ft., and Farnborough 570ft. at its highest point.
The flora is comparatively poor. I have only been able to record 516 species
of flowering plants and ferns after several visits. Of these the following are the
more noteworthy : —
Ranunculus circinatus ; Papaver Lecoqii ; Helianthemum Chamsecistus ;
Viola Reichenbachiana ; Rnamnus catharticus ; Trifolium fragiferum ;
Anthyllis vulneraria; Prunus Cerasus ; Spiraea Fiiipendula;Rubus fasciculatus ;

PLAN OF THE FLORA. XXIX.
PLAN OF THE FLORA.
In the following pages the Flowering Plants, Ferns, and Fern Allies of War-
wickshire are systematically treated. The nomenclature and arrangement are,
with a few exceptions, those of '*The London Catalogue of British Plants," 8th
edition. When the name adopted in this Flora differs from that given by the various
authorities quoted, such as Ray, Withering, Perry, *' Topographical Botany,*'
Purton's ** Midland Flora," or Syme*s Edition of Sowerby*s *' English Botany,"
the names used by these authorities are given as synonyms, and printed in italics.
The Natural Orders and Genera are printed in Roman capitals. The Latin
names of the Species are printed in Clarendon type, followed by an abbreviation
of the name of the botanist (in italics) who first so named the species (^.^.,
Clematis Vitalba, Linn.^ Linnaeus being the first known authority for the
scientific name of this plant). English names are given for the species, and, when
known, the local or county names are also given ; these are printed in italics. The
really local names are very few.
In the next paragraph will be found a reference to Mr. Hewett C. Watson's
*• Topographical Botany" (for the sake of space abbreviated to Top. Bot.) whenever
the plant in question is either directly or indirectly recorded for Warwickshire in
that work ; to Purton's •* Midland Floia" (abbreviated to Purt.) when it gives a
Warwickshire locality, or when it is recorded as common, and has been seen by
myself near Alcester, where Purton lived ; and to Syme's edition of Sowerby's
''English Botany "(abbreviated to Syme E. B.), giving the page on which the
plant is described and the number of the plate illustrating it.
The succeeding paragraph states— First, the grade of citizenship of the plant as
given by Hewett C. Watson in his ** Compendium of the Cybele Britannica,"
such as "native," "denizen," "colonist," Ac. (these terms are explained at
page 467) ; and, Second, the habitat or usual place of growth of the plant, such as
"woods," "waysides," "hedges," <fcc. This is followed by a general statement
as to its comparative frequency, such as ** common," *♦ frequent,' ** locally
common," " locally abundant," •* rather local," •• local," "very local," "rather
rare," " rare," " very rare." It must be understood that the significance of these
terms cannot be strictly defined or accurately applied. "Abundant" or
•* plentiful" are local terms, and do not refer to general distribution. A "very
rare " plant may be abundant in one or two localities, of which Carex Ehrhartiana
is an instance. It is described in the Flora as " very rare," and only occurs in
one locality, but it is "abundant" in that locality. These terms, however,
apply to the relative frequency of the plant in Warwickshire only, and not to Britain
as a whole. The next point dealt with is the duration of a plant ; that is to say,
whether it is an "annual," a "biennial," "shrub," &c., and is indicated as
follows: — A. for annual, B. for biennial, P. for perennial, S. for shrub, T. for tree.
Lastly, the months in which a plant is usually found in full flower are stated.
This mformation, it must be remembered, is also of local significance only.
The next paragraph gives the first record of the plant known to tne writer.
This record may be a printed one, or a written one, published or unpublished ; it
may be that of a dried specimen seen, or of one contained in a public or private
herbarium, or it may be only a MS. entry in a book, &c. But the writer disclaims
any idea of speaking authoritatively on this point, for, as will be readily seen,
earlier records may exist of which he has no knowledge.
The account of the distribution of a plant through the various districts into
which the county has been divided in the Flora then follows in proper sequence.
This is fully given, except in the case of plants which are very common. The
county of Warwick, for the purpose of this Flora, is divided into ten districts,
which are based on the river drainage, and a full account of them is given at
pages xix. to xxviii. They are briefly as under : — I, Tame ; 2, Blythe ; 3, Anker ;
4t Avon ; 5, Leam ; 6, Sow ; 7, Stour ; 8, Alne ; 9, Arrow ; 10, Cherwell. Some of
the localities cited, however, are on the water-partings, such as Honiley, Berkswell,
&c, hence these places may appear in two basins, in more instances than one.

XXX. SIGNS AND ABBREVIATIONS.
SIGNS AND ABBREVIATIONS USED.
The writer is accountable for all records from those districts not followed by an
authoritative name, printed in italics, and has, in every instance, seen the plant
growing in the locality given. When the writer has seen the plant growing in
the locality or localities recorded, followed by an authoritative name, this fact is
signified by a note of admiration ( !) after the locality (e.g. , Thalictrum flavum,
4, Avon, Bidford ! Purt. i. 267) ; and when he has only had or seen a specimen
from the locality, collected by the authority given, such fact is signified by a note
of admiration (!) after the authority's name {e.g.^ Thalictrum flavum, I, Tame,
near Middleton, J. B. Stone /). An asterisk (*) prefixed to the Latin name of
a plant indicates that the plant, in the writer's opinion, has been introduced
possibly recently, and the terms ''denizen " or ** alien" are used to accentuate this
opinion. Casuals are in all cases (except as stated below) printed in italics^ and,
with the record following their names, placed between brackets [ ]. The excep-
tions are one or two isolated cases, where the plants, though termed by the writer
casuals, being natives of Britain, have been printed in Clarendon type. Two
asterisks (**) prefixed to the Latin name of a plant, indicate in all cases, whether
so stated or not, that, in the opinion of the writer, such plants are merely casual
plants in this county.
When the name of an authority is placed in parentheses, after a varietal name,
such signs indicate that though the plant is here given as a variety, it was con-
sidered to be a distinct species by the authority whose name is placed in parentheses;
as for instance page 75, Rubus leucostachys var. conspicuus (P. J. MiilL).
This is here treated as a variety, but was considered to be a distinct species by
P. J. Muller.
Following the account of the distribution of the Flowering Plants and Ferns, is
a record of the Mosses, Hepatics, and Liverworts known to exist in the county.
This study has occupied my attention since the year 1867. In this portion of the
Flora the county is divided into three districts only, the Tame, Avon, and Cherwell,
the records not being sufficiently full to require greater sub-division of the area.
This is succeeded by a list of the Lichens, compiled chiefly from Leighton's ** Lichen
Flora of Great Britain." For these plants I have not had the leisure requisite for
a fuller record.
Following next is an account of the Fungus Flora (Hjmienomycetes and Gastro-
mycetes) of Warwickshire, by W. B. Grove, M.A., and myself. In this record
the county is given as a whole, so little of it having been systematically worked ;
the records belong mainly to districts i, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 9.
A summary of the Flora, with a tabulated account of the distribution of the
Flowering Plants and Ferns, and a list showing their comparative occurrence in the
counties of Warwick, Leicester, Northampton, and Oxford follows next. The
volume concludes with a History of the Progress of Botany in the county of War-
wick. In this I have endeavoured to give a biographical sketch of the various
workers who have from time to time helped to forward our knowledge of the
Warwickshire Flora, with a list of the plants they first recorded. This portion of the
work is, I know too well, faulty and incomplete, the material from which these
memoirs were compiled being too scanty to allow of fuller treatment.

** As we leave the district to the south of the Caspian and Black Seas, the bird
cherry (P. Avium) becomes less common, less natural, and determined more
perhaps by the birds which seek its fruit and carry the seeds from place to place. It
cannot be doubted that it was thus naturalised from cultivation in the North of India,
in many of the plains of the South of Europe, in Madeira, and here and there in
the United States ; but it is probable that in the greater part of Europe this took
place in prehistoric times, seeing that the agency of birds was employed before the
first migrations of nations, perhaps before there were men in Europe. Its area
must have been extended in this region as the glaciers diminished." — De Candolle^

The Rev. W. Moyle Rogers communicates the following note, by Dr. Focke,
on the Sutton Park R, carpinifolius ; — " Probably R, carpiuif alius ^ true plant, high
arching, not rooting, no setae on panicle, big yellow prickles." — W. O. F. These
are precisely the characters of the plant from all the above-named stations.

From the remarks made by Prof. Balongton in his ** Notes on British Rubi,"
Journal of Bot., August, 1880, there seems to be some diversity of opinion respect-
ing this plant. That which I have taken as my type is the plant which Mr.
Bloxam issued as P. Koehleri^ and this Prof, Babington^ in British Rubi,
considers true R. pallidus, Mr. Bloxam pointed it out to me in the Appleby
Road, near Twycross. This is now considered by our best British authorities to
be merely a weak form of R, Koehleri^ and quite distinct from R, pallidus^ Weihe.

The plant in Sutton Park I have been unable to find. The Minworth plant is.
in my own opinion, R. pilosusy of Warren. This is the No. 48 of the set of Rubi

A strongly marked variety occurs in the lane from Brandon to Combe Ridings,

British Rubi,* p. 224. At present I place it under R, diver sifolius^ for I do not
think it belongs to JP. Koehleri. It is a very beautiful plant." I believe this plant
is R, infestus; it is No. 52 of the set sent to the British Museum.

Focke (p. 316), and reasonably well with Rubi Germ.., t. xxxi. It is also, I think, a

Britan,' although he does not tell us what we ought to call our plant, nor did he
send us a specimen of his plant." Babingtan in Litt.^ Oct. 8, 1879. Mr. Rogers
showed the plant from near Bentley Park thus named to Prof, Focke^ who said
emphatically ** No," in which opinion I agree, but do not know where else to place
it. The plants from the other stations I believe are correctly placed under this
species.

A valuable comment on this plant is given in "Notes on Rubi," Journal of
Botany, 1878, p. 197. Professor Babington, in his recent paper, ♦• Notes on British
Rubi, Journal of Botany, August, 1886, combines R.foliosus with R. atro-rubens,
as he does not consider them distinct, even as varieties. My own experience is
that they differ widely in the field, in habit, form of leaves, and armature of the
stems, as also in the disposition of the sepals, these being reflexed in R. foliosus
and clasping in R, atro-rubens. I have, in deference to the views of so great an
authority, combined the two plants in this record. R. foliosus^ as understood by
Mr. Bloxam, only occurs in the Anker district ; R, atro-rubcns^ as understood by
Mr. Bloxam, in all the other districts enumerated. Professor Focke, to whom the
Rev. W. Moyle Refers showed plants from Solihull, Annesley and Oldbury,
says : — ** None of these (nor the Devon plant) are true foliosus^ which is not distinct
from R,Jlexuosus" See Journal of Botany, May, 1890.

A plant in Bentley Park seems to belong to this variety. It seems identical

All the above, I believe, are merely marked varieties of R. Beltardi, Weihe.

This is not only a very wide-spread variety, but a very greatly varying one.
An extreme form, such as the plant collected by Rev. W, H, Purchase near Ross,
and named R. Smithii by the Rev* A, Leighion, Flor, Hereford,, p. 107, occurs
rarely, as at Steeple Hill, near Bidford ; and in lanes about Wolvey ; a form, with
prickly barren stem, tending toward R. diversifoliusy at Newbold-on-Avon ; and
near Rowington ; a form with a panicle as leafy as that oi foliosus, near Kenil-
worth ; Maxstoke'; and Ansley ; and forms identical with the R. tenui-armatusy
Lees, at Shustoke ; Rowington ; and other localities. All these may be traced in
the districts where they are more abundant into the R. purpureus^ Bab., which is
merely a synon)an for R, concinnuSy Baker. A very spiny form of R, corylifolius^
named R, spinosissimus by the Rev. A. Bloxam was abundant in a hedge bank,
Monkspath, near Shirley ; and at Wyken Lane, near Coventry. These I now
think are merely extreme forms of R.fasciculatus.

mistaken. ^* LcUebrosa is noticeable for exhibiting a curious develop-
ment of setae and aciculi on certain parts of the stem, recalling the aspect
of the least prickly of the SpinosissimcB group. It is worth while
noticing here that Woods, in his monograph ( Trans, Linn, Soc, xii. ),
attaches considerable importance to the presence or absence of setae on
the stem in discriminating roses, and I think the peculiar armature in
the case of latebrosa a character sufficiently important to constitute it at
least a variety apart from all other ioxm%,— Flora of Plymouth^

C. stagnalis, Scop,
Top. Bot. 169. Syme, E. B. viii. 119. 1272.
Native ; pools, streams, canals, damp sandy or clayey drives in woods, and on
mud. Common. P. May to July.
First record, Kirk, Phytologist, 1845.
Two forms are common in the county : (i) a small form, growing in mud or in
damp, clayey, or sandy drives in woods, always abundantly in fruit ; (2) a larger

Purton's plant was probably H. vulgatum, Fr. This occurs sparingly in Oversley
Wood, and is not recorded by Purton in "The Midland Flora."

So £;ur as my own experience serves, nearly the whole of our Warwickshire
plants would be included in the var. b, E, nemorosa, Pers. Var. a, I have never
seen in this county. E. nemorosa (H. Mart.) is frequent in the Tame and
Blythe districts, but remarkably rare in that of the Anker. I have also seen it
in the Sow, Avon, Alne, and Arrow districts.
\zx gracilis (Fr.) is more local; of this I have records as follows: —

plant I find at Drayton has the calyx more woolly than any other form I have seen
in this county — the leaves are very narrow, Unear lanceolate, but the stem is
scarcely branched and is not thickened upwards. Two distinct forms occur in the
county, one having large showy purple flowers, with long corolla tube, and hairy
calyx, corolla, and stem ; the other form has smaller, paler flowers, less hairy calyx,
and stem sparingly hairy. Still neither form is, as I think, the var. canescens,

intended.]

This plant scarcely deserves a higher place in the flora than that of a casual.
It was well established in the Shrewley locality above mentioned, on rocks,
where it could scarcely have been planted by man's agency. It was probably intro-
duced by birds dropping seeds on these rocks. Shrewley Canal cutting is com-
paratively recent, hence the plant cannot have had a very long existence in that
Warwickshire station.

A singular fonn of S, cinerea, var. a., occurs on Bentley Heath, in which both
male and female catkins are plentifully produced on the same plant, frequently on
the same branch ; and, in some cases, both male and female flowers were in the
same catkins. Another singular form of the same var. a, occurred on damp
heathlands near Umberslade, in which some of the stamens were developed into
abortive pistils, or it may be that in this case also there were staminiferous and
pistilliferous flowers in the same catkin.

This tree occurs at intervals throughout the county. I have, however, never
seen it, as I should consider, truly naturalised. Some of the plants in the old
hedges may be spontaneous growths, but on this point I have no reliable infor-
mation.
*Pinus syhestris, Linn. Numerous seedlings of this tree are found in our old
woods. Possibly it may, at some remote date, have been native.
Very large trunks have, it is said, been excavated from some depth
below the surface soil, near the Old Roman Road in Sutton Park, and
in other wild parts of the park. Some fine examples of this tree may
be seen near Guys Cliff, and on the Dunchurch Road, near Dunchurch.

The plants from the localities marked with an asterisk, thus (*), are labelled
E. media by the collector, but I think that they are all referable to E. latifolia.
E. latifolia varies much in the shape of the leaves, in the flowers being in dense or
lax racemes, and in the basal ridges being rugose or smooth, the latter character
being remarkably inconstant. I find that of two plants from the same rootstock,

one will have the processes smooth and the other distinctly rugose plicate. Plants
from some of the above cited districts have been submitted to Mr. J. G. Baker,
F.R.S., and he pronounces them to be E, UUifolia^ thus confirming my own
opinion. A plant pointed out by Mr. Baker in a wood near Matlock as true E.
latifolia was also carefully compared with fresh Warwickshire specimens.

4. Avon. Canal, near Rugby, Blox,
The following note from Mr. A. Bennett, of Croydon, brought this plant under
my notice. He writes as follows : —
'* Looking through the British Potamogetons at Britbh Herbarium of
British Museum, I saw a specimen labelled as under —
• P. zosteraefolius.
Canal, near Rugby, Warwickshire.
In herb. Rev. And. Bloxam.

P. acuiifolius E. B. 2609.'
It is P. acutifolius, Link 1 for certain, and I suppose new to the county.
"A. Bennett."
This is a very interesting addition to our flora, which I have not yet been able
to confirm, although I have given some little attention to the canals near Rugby.

The plant collected by Mr. Bromwich at the Woodloes is stated by Dr. Boswell
to be intermediate between Z. eu-pcUustris 2Xi<^ fedicillata. It has the group of
carpels pedunculate, and each carpel slightly stipitate. See Exch. Club Report,
1875, pp. 28-29. This form I find also at Water Orton and in several other lcK:ali-
ties with the type. The var. Z, brachystemon^ Gay, appears to be a frequent plant
in this county, but probably in the greater number of stations above enumerated the
true Z.palustris, Boreau, will be found. I have not sufficiently discriminated these
in the field to allow a fuller record of the distribution of the forms.

First record, the Author, 1869, F. duriuscula, L.
A very variable plant both as to its habit of growth and colour, many of the
forms being so distinct as to be at once recognised ; these, I think, deserve better
attention than has hitherto been given to them by British botanists. A peculiar
glaucous form at Middleton, Shustoke, and other localities having hairy glumes and
leaf sheaths.

10. Cherwell. Near Ratley, Edge Hill, 1889.
This was sent to Professor Haeckel in 1882, and was considered by him to be a
new variety. I could not find it again near Combe Abbey in 1885, so that possibly
it may be only an accidental form. It is noticeable for the very long awi\s, longer
than the flowering glumes ; but I can see no other point of difference by which to
distinguish it.

Two varieties of this species occur in the county, one having smooth leaf
sheaths and lax panicle open in flower, closed in fruit, and well represented by
plate 1789 of Syme's English Botany ; the other form is exactly represented by
plate 1790. In this variety the panicle branches are divaricate in fruit, the leaf
sheaths are rougher to the touch, and the lower pale is often awned. This variety
was sent to Prof. Haeckel, who pronounced it to be F, elatior var. arundinacea of
his monograph of the genus. For valuable remarks on this plant see Top. Bot. 497.

The Moss Flora of Warwickshire is, with a few exceptions, compiled from my
own notes and observations made in Warwickshire from 1867 to the present time,
nearly every part of the county having been visited, and the specimens obtained
carefully examined.
The nomenclature and classification are those of The London Catalogue of British
Mosses, £d. 2, and whenever this nomenclature differs from that of Wilson's
Bryologia Britannica, I have given the name adopted by Wilson as a synonym,
followed by the abbreviation ** Bry. Brit."
In the genus Sphagnum I have with each species quoted the page and plate in
Dr. Braithwaite's very beautiful ** Sphagnaceae of Europe and America," in which
the plant is described and figured ; and I may here state that the foundation of my
knowledge of the mosses was gained from Dr. Braithwaite, who not only gave me
much valuable instruction, but also sent me specimens for examination, and whose
courtesy and kindness throughout all the years that I have known him will be ever
remembered with pleasure, and is here gratefully acknowledged.

LICHENES.
The arrangement adopted in the following list of the Warwickshire Lichens is
that of** The Lichen Flora of Great Britain,'^ by the Rev. W. A. Leighton, M.A.,
3rd Edition, 1879. The list is mainly compiled from Purton's " Midland Flora,"
1817-21, from ** The Lichen Flora of Great Britain," and my own notes. My own
observations are very incomplete, for whilst I have specimens from nearly every
part of the county, I have not had the leisure needful for their correct identification.
Some, however, of the more common species are well-known to me, and these are
incorporated with the present list. This list is by no means an exhaustive one,
but I must leave the more perfect working out of these interesting plants to
younger and more able workers.

FUNGI. 387
FUNGI
BY W. B. GROVE, M.A., AND J. E. BAGNALL, A.L.S.
In publishing this list of the Fungi of Warwickshire, our aim has been to place
on record all that has been done by past and present workers in the study of the
Warwickshire Hymenomycetes and Gastromycetes, so for as our knowledge extends.
The list must be far from complete, as only portions of the county have been
worked, and those portions far from exhaustively.
In determining the species intended by Withering and Purton, the identifica-
tions of previous authors iiave not been copied ; but an attempt has been made,
by comparison of their descriptions, and the quoted figures, with the latest ideas
of Fries, to decide what was meant by theai, and we feel assured that this can be
satisfactorily done in more cases than has been before imagined.
We have also availed ourselves of that extensive series of coloured illustrations
of fungi from the neighbourhood of Kenilworth and Warwick which is now in the
British Museum ; these were executed by the late Mrs. Russell, of Krailworth, and
many of her specimens were named or confirmed by eminent authorities. We
must here acknowledge our indebtedness to the late Rev. W. W. Newbould for all
our knowledge of the nomendature and stations given on these plates. He, with
kindly courtesy, and the untiring patience so peculiarly his own, without solicitation
on our part, copied for us all the details we give from these. Of present workers
we have to thank the Rev. D. C. O. Adams for his numerous MS. notes on the
fungi found by him in the neighbourhood of Combe, Ansty, and Brinklow ; Dr.
M. C. Cooke for notes made during his various visits to Birmingham, and also for
other land and valuable help ; and, besides him, Messrs. C. B. Plowright,
M.R.C.S., of King's Lynn, and Mr. W. Phillips, of Shrewsbury. The following
abbreviations will be used : ~ .

I have since found this species at Langley, September, 1888, and this time
observed that the mycelium was attached to a small fragment of decaying wood,
buried in the ground. Probably the same was true of the New Park specimens. —

On comparison of Sowerby's •* upper figure," pointedly referred to by Withering,
with the figures of Ag. lateritius, and noticing the ** loose gills," its extreme
fragility, and other distinctions which he draws, it is rendered probable, at least,
that his Ag. coins is this species ; whether the same may be said of Purton*s is not
so sure. Withering was well acquainted with Ag. tetter, which he describes
exactly, p. 245; moreover, Ag. latetitins has the true ** distaff" (coins) shape,

Var. with scaly pileus, ^
Rookery, Edgbaston, With, 226. A form in which the pileus is covered with

still occurs in Edgbaston Park.
The form alba^ with beautiful silky white pileus, is common in Packington Park,
and at Bradnock's Marsh. The var. Ag» villaticus^ Brond, which is more likely to
be a distinct species, was represented by grand specimens in a spinny at Hampton,
on the edge of a meadow. These exactly agreed with Cooke^ Illustr.^ pi. 585 ; the
pileus measured over I2ins. in diameter, and the stem 2j^ins. in thickness.

Britannica," has for convenience grouped our British Plants into certain leading
Types of Distribution. These groups are primarily six, to which two others are
subordinate or supplementary. They are briefly stated thus . —
1. British Type.— Species widely spread throughout South, Middle, and
North Britain.
2. English Type.— Species chiefly seen in South or South-Middle Britain.
3. Scottish Type.— Species chiefly seen in North or North-Middle Britain.
Intermediate Type.— Species chiefly seen in Mid Britain.
4. Highland Type. — Species chiefly seen about mountains.
5. Germanic Type.— Species chiefly seen in East England.
6. Atlantic Type.— Species chiefly seen in West England.
Local Species restricted to single or few provinces.
Compend, Cyb, Brit, page 23.
The following is an analysis of the Warwickshire Flora, based on the above,
with a full analysis of the British Flora, given for comparison : —

In the same work Mr. Watson gives an interesting chapter on the Nativity of
Species, and by a series of terms, Native, Denizen, Colonist, &c., divides all our
British plants into their various classes of citizenship, " from the truly wild and

prehistorically established species, down to occasional stragglers from cultivation,
or the products of seeds accidentally imported with merchandise, ship ballast, &c."
These terms he thus explains : —
Native. — Apparently an aboriginal British species, there being no reason for
supposing it to have been introduced by man's agency, such as the
Hazel, Daisy, or Ling.
Denizen.— At present maintaining its habitat as if a native species, but liable
to some suspicion of having oeen originally introduced by human agency.
Such as Monkshood, Soapwort, Greater Celandine.
Colonist. -^A weed of cultivated land, by roadsides or about houses, and
seldom found except in places where the giound has been adapted for its
continuance by the operations of man, often of most uncertain
occurrence. Such as the field Crowfoot, the Poppy, Corn Cockle, &c
Aliens. — Species certainly or probably of foreign origin, though several placed
in this category are well established amid the indigenous flora of this
island. Such as the Yellow Fumitory, Horse Radish, the Sycamore, a
tree much planted, and Geranium Pheum,
Casuals. — Species which are often merely chance stragglers from cultivation,
or sown with imported agricultural seeds, or introduced by the agency of
the skins brought for tanning from other lands, many plants being thus
introduced in the Kenilworth district. Such as the Opium Poppy,
Saponaria Vaccaria^ Coronilla varia, &c.
Ambigruities. — Used by myself to express a feeling of uncertainty as to what
plant the recorders may have really meant, or to imply doubt as to
correctness of nomenclature.
Besides these are Varieties, plants whose position it is most difficult to
explain, few of our leading botanists being really at one in this matter.
The Warwickshire Flora may be thus arranged under the various classes above
given : —
Native 817
Denizen 42

49P BOTANICAL INVESTIGATION IN WARWICKSHIRE.
A SKETCH OF THE PROGRESS
OF
BOTANICAL INVESTIGATION
IN
WARWICKSHIRE.
Of the earlier botanists, Ray appears to have been the first to give any records
bearing on the botany of Warwickshire ; an incidental notice of a plant, however,
occurs in both Gerarde and Parkinson. This is ** Viola marianus, Coventry Bells.
They grow in woods, mountains, and dark valleys, and under hedges among the bushes
about Coventry, where they are very plentiful abroad in the fields, and are there
called Coventry Bells." — Gerarde Em, ^ 448. In Parkinson's "Paradisus Terrestris"
we have the following contradiction : — ** The Coventry Bells doe not grow wilde in
any of the parts about Coventry, as I am credibly informed by a faithful apothe-
cary dwelling there, called Master Brian Bull, but are nursed in the gardens with
them as in other places." — Faradisus, 357. This plant is now considered to be
C. media, and is not a British species. Ray, however, in his "Catalogus," gives
several records, principally from Middleton and its neighbourhood. This eminent
botanist was born at Black Notley, near Braintree, in Essex, November, 29th, 1628,
and received the rudiments of his education in the Grammar School, Braintree.
When about sixteen he was entered as a sizar of Catherine Hall, Cambridge. At
twenty-one he took his B.A. degree, and was elected Junior Fellow of Trinity
College, and having taken his M.A. degree he became Senior Fellow. At twenty-
three he was chosen Greek Lecturer of the College, and on October ist, 1653, he
was made Mathematical Lecturer, and afterwards, in 1655, Humanity Reader. In
1657 he became Praelector Primarius ; in 1658 Junior Dean, and was twice College
Steward, being sworn into that office in 1659 and 1660. During his residence at
Cambridge University he was tutor to several distinguished men, among others
Mr. Francis Willughby, of Middleton Hall, Warwickshire, with whom he formed
a lifetime friendship, and at whose mansion he resided several years. From his
correspondence he appears to hStve resided there from May, 1669, to 1675, and
during that time he married Margaret Oakley, who also resided with the
family at Middleton Hall. He was married in the Parish Church of Middleton,
June 5th, 1673, being then in his forty-fifth year, his bride being about twenty.
She bore him three daughters, who, with their mother, survived him.
The first botanical publications of John Ray were merely alphabetical catalogues
of plants ; such as his ** Catalogus Plantarum circa Cantabrigiam Nascentium," a
duoidecimo volume of 103 pages, published in 1660 and followed in 1663 by an
appendix of thirteen pages. On November 7th, 1667, he was elected a Fellow of
the Royal Society. In 1669 he published, in the ** Philosophical Transactions,'* Vol.
4, '* An Account of Experiments concerning the Motion of Sap in Trees, made by

Mr. Willughby and Mr. Wray," these experiments having evidently been made at
Middleton ; and, in a letter to Mr. Lister, dated Middleton, November 15th, 1669,
we have the first notice of Warwickshire plants. These are : —
Erica baccifera nigra, Park,^ (Empetnim nigrum, Linn,). Alchemilla
vulgaris ; Palustria thymifolius (Vaccinium Oxycoccos, Linn.). Bistorta, &c.
(Polygonum Bistorta). — *' Correspondence of Ray," pp. 44-46. These
plants are afterwards recorded in subsequent works.
In 1670 he published his "Catalogus Plantarum Anglise." an alphabetical list
of British plants, of 358 pages. In this we huve the following from Warwick-
dtire: —
Astragalus sylvaticus, Ger,^ (Orobus tuberosus, Z.). Cyperus gramineus,
J*B,, (Scirpus sylvaticus. Z.). Cyperus longus inodorus sylvestris, Ger.^
(Cladium germanicum, Schrad. ). Equisetum omnium minimum tenuifolium,

Turritis, Ger.^ vulgatior, Park.^ (Turritis glabra). Typha palustris media,
J'B., (Typha angustifolia, Z.). Vaccinia rubra, Ger.^ (Vaccinium Vitis
Idsea, Z.).
Between 1670 and 1677 Ray published several works, including volumes of
travel, catalogues of English birds and fishes, and a collection of English words. In
1677 a second edition of the *'CataIogus'' was published, and in 1682 the '' Methodus
Plantarum." In this his principles of arrangement are chiefly derived from the
fruit, although he still adopted the ancient primary division of plants into trees,
shrubs, and herbs. He first applied his new system to practical use in the
" Historia Plantarum," a fine folio work in three volumes. In this work the
following records from Warwickshire are additional : —
Lapathum folio acuto floreo aureo, C.B.^ (Rumex maritimus, Z.). Viscum
( Viscum album, Z. ). Filix fomina ( Athyrium Filix faemina. Roth. ). Pteris
aquilina, Linn. Rubus Idseus, Z. Acer campestris, Linn, ^
In 1690 was published his greatest botanical work, ** Synopsis Methodica
Stirpium Britannicarum," an octavo work of 310 pases. Of this a second edition,
which is the best and last edition published during the lifetime of Ray, came out in
1696. In this edition there are several records of Warwickshire plants, most of
them previously enumerated in the ** Catalogus." The following are, however,
additional as records : —
Equisetum nudum (E. hyemale, Z.). Filix maris vulgaris varietas (Lastrea
Oreopteris, Presl.). Cardamine impatiens altera hirsuta (C. hirsutum, Z.).
Solanum lethale, Park,^ (Atropa Belladonna, Linn.), Ribes nigrum vulgo
dictum folio olente, f.B.^ (Ribes nigrum, Z.).

In 1724 a third edition of the " Synopsis" was published by Dillenius. In this
there were no new records. Beside these great botanical works, sufficient of them-
selves to give him lasting fame, and indicating close observation and great original
thought, he found time to write his beautiful work, *' The Wisdom of God in the
Creation," worthy of careful reading ; an epitome of knowledge and religious
thought. He also found time to revise a translation of the curious volume,
** Rauwoltfs Travels," and other tracts, together with a catalogue of Grecian,
Syrian, Egyptian, and Cretan plants.
Following this, in 1694, he published the "Stirpium Europeanarum extra
Britannias nascentium Sylloge." In this volume he gives, in addition to his own
discoveries during his travels on the Continent, records from Clusius, Bauhin,
Columna, and others.
In 1695 he communicated to Bishop Edw. Gibson's edition of '* Camden's
Britannia " the catalogues of plants for jeach county, under the heading of *' More
Rare Plants." In addition to all this botanical work he found time to publish
voluminous works on birds, fishes, and insects, and to carry on a learned corres-
pondence with the scientific leaders of the day, both British and foreign. He
died at Black Notley, January the 17th, i704-5» and was buried in the church of
that parish.
In Gibson's edition of Camden, Vol. I., pp. 515-16. a list of fourteen plants
is supplied by Ray, under the title of ** More Rare Plants Growing Wild in War-
wickshire." These, however, had already been given in one or other of his works.
The next botanical work of importance is the third edition of '* Ray's Synopsis."
published by Dillenius in 1724. This has already been mentioned; and following
this is *' Hudson's Flora Anglica," the first edition of which appeared in 1772, the
second in 1778, and the third in 1798— the third being merely a stereotyi>ed reprint
of the second edition. In this work there are several records of Warwickshire
plants, but, with one exception, all are borrowed from Ray. This exception is Malva
alcea, Z., which is not a native of Britain.
In 1792 Gough published "an edition of •* Camden's Britannia," with Ray's
lists of plants, but these were merely reprints from Gibson.
The next author who adds to our knowledge of Warwickshire botany is William
Withering, M.D., F.R.S. This eminent man was born in 1 741, at Wellington, in
Shropshire, where his father practised as an apothecary. He was chiefly educated
by the Rev. Henry Wood, of Ercall. He afterwards studied at Edinburgh, where
he took his degree of M.D. in 1766. He first practised as a physician at Stafford,
and from the hills and valle)^ of the Trent obtained much of the material for his
great work on botany. In 1775 he removed to Birmingham, and in a few years
became the leading physician. In 1786 Dr. Withering went to live at Edgbaston
Hall, and from the grounds and neighbourhood around there he obtained many
interesting records, more especially among the fungi. The chief objects of his
leisure hours were chemistry and botany. He was a member of the famed Lunar
Society, which included amongst its members the foremost intellects of Birmingham.
For thirteen years he was physician to the General Hospital— 1779 to 1792. From
early life Dr. Withering was delicate, and in 1793 he became so debilitated by
pulmonic disease that he thought it desirable to pass the winters of 1793 ^^^ '794
m Lisbon. Whilst there, at the request of the Court of Portugal, he analysed the
hot mineral waters of Caldas du Rainha, of which he published an account in
1795. After his return firom his last voyage to Lisbon, he removed from Edgbaston
to a house he had purchased near Birmingham, formerly occupied by Dr. Priestley,
named The Larches ; here be died in 1799, and was buried in the old church at
E^lgbaston. His principal work was **A Systematic Arrangement of British
Plants," a classical work on the British Flora, in which for the first time our plants
were described in the language of the people, and gave to all his fellow-country-
men who could read the opportunity of studying the flora of their country. That
this work was highly estimated is shown by the fact that within twenty years three
editions were published ; the first in two volumes, in 1776 ; the second in three
volumes, in 1787 ; the third in four volumes, in 1796. These were all that were

published during his lifetime, and the third edition is usually considered the best.
In 1 80 1 a fourth edition was published by his son, who also edited the fifth
edition, published in 1812, the sixth edition in 1818, and the seventh edition in
1830.
Beside his ** Systematic Arrangement," Withering also published ** An Account
of Scarlet Fever and Sore Throat," 1779; ** An Account of the Foxglove and
Some of its Medical Uses," 1785 ; and various papers in the Philosophical Trans-
actions.
The first edition of the *' Arrangement" contains but few records ; but in the
second edition, edited by Jonathan Stokes, M.D., several plants are recorded that
are additions to the records of Ray. ^ These are : —
Nymphaea alba, Sisymbrium amphibium (Nasturtium), Viola palustris,
Sagina nodosa, Hypericum elodes, Ornithopus perpusillus, Drosera rotundi-
folia. Campanula patula, Erica vulgaris, downy leaved (Calluna Erica var. b.
incana), Sambucus nigra, Anchusa sempervirens, Veronica Anagallis, Utricu-
laria vulgaris, Mentha Pulegium, Galeobdolon luteum (Lamium Galeobdolon),
Rumex Hydrolapathum, Polygonum aviculare, Narthecium ossifragum, Pota-
mogetonpaludosa(P. polygonifolium), Acorus, Schoenus albus (Rhynchospora
alba), Enophorus vaginatus, E. polystachion, Polypodium cristatum (Lastrea
spinulosa).
In this edition Dr. Stokes also records, on his own responsibility, several new
plants, such as : —
Nardus stricta, Montia fontana, Potamogeton lucens, Butomus umbellatus,
Carduus acanthoides, Gnaphalium sylvaticum.
Besides editing this edition of the "Arrangement," Dr. Stokes was the author of
** A Botanical Materia Medica," and '* Botanical Commentary," of which latter only
the first volume was published. Dr. Stokes was born in 1755, and died at Derby,
April 30th, 183 1, aged 76.
In the fourth edition, published in 1801, and revised and enlarged by William
Withering, son of the author, we have some few additional records, such as : —
Ranunculus acris, Hypericum pulchrum, Sambucus Ebulus, Adoxa Moscha-
teliina, Comarum palustre, Saxifraga granulata, Cichorium Intybus, Inula
puiicaria (Pulicaria vulgaris), Valeriana dioica^ Melampyrum pratense,
Veronica scutellata. Salvia verbenaca, Mentha piperita, M. aquatica,
Galeopsis cannabina, G. Ladanum, Thymus Calamintha (Calamintha
officinalis), Scutellaria galericulata, Buxus sempervirens, Ulmus glabra,
Allium ursinum, Triglochin palustre, Epipactis latifolia, Carex vesicaria,
Alopecurus fulvus, Aira flexuosa (Deschampsia), Aira aquatica (Catabrosa),
Festuca bromoides (F. sciuroides), Blechnum boreale, Polystichum acule-
atum, Chara flexiiis.
In the fifth edition the only new records are Parnassia palustris and Lonicera
Xylosteum ; in the sixth, CEnanthe peucedanifolia ; and in the seventh and last
edition. Viburnum Lantana. In this edition there are many other records copied
from Rjay, Purton, and other preceding botanists.
In 1805 Turner and Dillwyn published their *' Botanist's Guide through England
and Wales," their records from Warwickshire being obtained from Ray, Hudson,
Withering, and eminent botanists then living. The only records in this compila-
tion that are additions to previous knowledge are those of the Countess of Aylesford.
This ardent and accomplished botanist, who was the eldest daughter of Thomas
Thynne, first Marquis of Bath, was born about 1760, and married, in 1781, Heneage
Finch, Marquis of Aylesford. Soon after settling in Warwickshire she appears to
have taken a deep interest in the botany of the district adjacent to Packington, and
to have been in communication with the more eminent Warwickshire botanists,
such as the Rev. W. T. Bree, Purton, and, as Withering records many of his fungi
from Packington Park, doubtless with that accomplished botanist also. Her
interest in botanical science seems to have extended over a long period — ^from 1784

to 1816 — ^and to have included, not only Phanerogams, but also Fungi, Mosses,
Hepatics, Fud, and Aigse. Her study of these plants would appear to have been
most laborious, as during her life she made upwards of 2,830 beautifully executed
water-colour drawings, embracing the wide field of study above mentioned. These .
were mounted and lx>und in twenty-seven folio volumes. All were carefully named
and indexed, and throughout the volumes are constant references to the most
eminent authorities, such as Curtis, Decandolle, Hooker, Jacquin. and others.
The execution of this work must have cost an enormous amount of labour and
patience. She died in 183 1. Her records to the ** Botanist's Guide" are as
follows : —
Dipsacus pilosus; Rhamnus catharticus; Cuscuta europaea ; Bupleurum
rotundifolium ; Myosurus minimus ; Galanthus nivalis ; Paris quadrifolia ;
Scutellaria minor; Melampyrum arvense (probably M. pratense was
intended) ; Limosella aquatica ; Iberis nudicaulis (Teesdalia) ; Geranium
pratense ; Hypericum dubium ; Carduus pratensis ; Sparganium natans
(S. afiine) ; Carex pendula ; Littorella lacustris ; Myriophyllum verticillatum ;
Lycopodium inundatum. The correctness of many of her records I have
myself verified within recent years.
In the year 181 7 an abridged edition of *' Dugdale*s Warwickshire" was published
to which Mr. William Groves Perry, of Warwick, contributed a list of Warwick-
shire plants, under the heading of** A Select List of Plants found in Warwickshire,"
by W. G. Perry, of the Museum, Leamington. Mr. Perry was born in Warwick
in the year 1796, and appears to have been imbued with a love of botany early in
life, notes of his, made in 1812, having come under my notice. His studies
appear to have been confined exclusively to the flowering plants, and his attention
cmefly given to that portion of the county contiguous to Warwick. Occasional
journeys were, however, made to Alcester, Coleshill, and other more distant
portions of the county. In 1820 he published a small octavo work, ** Plantse
Varvicenses Selectse, or Botanist's Guide through the County of Warwick." The
classification and nomenclature' were those of Smith in the third edition of his
*' Compendium Florae Britannicae," and it was compiled principally from Ray,
Hudson, Withering, Purton, Turner and Dillwyn, with many of the author's own
notes. Mr. Perry was also an early contributor to ** Loudon's Magazine of Natural
Hbtory," his notes from Warwickshire being mainly on white and other varieties of
some of the more common plants. About 1840 Mr. Perry published a single sheet
under the heading of ** Remarkable Plants observed growing spontaneously near
Leamington and Warwick," which is a record of a large number of the more rare
or local plants of the county. He was a Fellow of the Botanical Society of
Edinburgh, and for many years secretary of the Warwickshire Natural History
Society ; and, beside being a truly enthusiastic botanist, he was also an able linguist,
well skilled in mathematics, and an accomplished musician. During his life Mr.
Perry obtained, from various sources, a valuable collection of plants from all parts
of the Kingdom ; the more interesting to Warwickshire botanists being his exten-
sive herbarium of Warwickshire plants. To this, in addition to his own collection,
many local botanists also contributed, such as W. Cheshire, Thomas Cross. Thomas
Kirk, and Henry Bromwich. The whole of his herbarium was, at his death,
acquired by the authorities of the Warwick Museum. Mr. Perry was a very
amiable man, and always ready to lend a helping hand to other and less favoured
students of nature. He died at Warwick, March the 25th, i86j, aged 67. In the
select list of plants contributed to ** Dugdale's Warwickshire, the following are
additional to former records : —
Allium oleraceum ; Anemone nemorosa ; Antirrhinum Cymbalaria (Lin-
aria); A. Linaria (Linaria vulgaris) ; Apargia hispida; Berberis vulgaris;

In the early part of 1817 Purton issued the first two volumes of *• The Midland
Flora," which, as was not unfrequent in those times, has a somewhat long title,
'* A Botanical Description of British Plants in the Midland Counties, particularly
of those in the neighbourhood of Alcester, with Occasional Notes and Observa-
tions, to which is prefixed a short Introduction to the Study of Botany and to the
Knowledge of the principal Natural Orders. By T. Purton, Surgeon, Alcester."
This work, which was founded on the Linnean system, has been so long before
the public as to become historic. It is very wide in its range, embracing the whole
field of systematic botany firom the Phanerc^m to the, at that time, httle known
or studied. Algae. The frequent notes and observations which are scattered through
these volumes add much to their charm, and bespeak a good personal knowledge of
the plants described. The author was evidently well acquainted with the Flowering
Plants, and eminent in his knowledge of the Fungi ; but of the Mosses and other
Cryptogamous Plants his personal acquaintance appears to have been linuted.
Mr. Purton was bom at Endon BumelL near Bridgnorth, Shropshire, May
loth, 1768, being the youngest of eight children. He was educated, first, at a
preparatory school at Alveley, near Bridgnorth, afterwards at a school at Downton,
near Shrewsbury. From this place he went to reside as a pupil with Mr. Bloxam,
Surgeon, of Alcester, whose daughter Anne he afterwards married. Having served
the usual time he removed to London, where he practised for four years ; in 1^3
he returned to Alcester, and entered into partnership with Mr. Bloxam. Here ne
remained till 1827. He afterwards removed to the house which had been occupied
by his father-in-law, where he lived till 183 1. After a brief visit to his son at
Hords Park, Bridgnorth, he returned again to Alcester, where he died, after a
short illness, April 29th, 1833, aged 65.
Mr. Purton was always a literary student, devoting his early days to astronomy,
but about 1805 he commenced the study of botany. This study he soon found
most congenial, and in a neighbouring clergyman, the Rev. W. S. Rufford, whose
name constantly appears in the ** Midland Flora," he found an esteemed friend and
able coadjutor. Mr. Rufford possessed a fine herbarium, which was very useful to
Purton during the ' early days of study. Purton possessed an excellent botanical
library, and also a very extensive herbarium, comprising flowering plants, lichens,
and fungi ; this was afterwards consigned to the Worcester Natural History Society.
He was evidently very highly esteemed by the prominent botanists of that time,
numbering amongst his friends, Sowerby, Sir James Edward Smith, Drs. Hooker
and Greville, Dr. Williams, Regius Professor of Oxford, Baxter, the Rev. W. Bree,
and his eminent son, the Rev. W. T. Bree. His classical work, **The Midland
Flora," is arranged after the Linnean system. The number of plants described in
the first two volumes is 1,171 species, all found in the Midland Counties; the third
volume published ini82i, contains 591 species in addition, making a total of 1,604.
Unfortunately, Purton rarely gives stations for the more common plants, so that I

In 1820 Perry published his excellent work, ** Plantae Varvicenses Seleclge," in
which are recorded 379 of the rarer Flowering Plants, J ems, and Fern Allies
growing in Warwickshire. These notes were collected from various sources, such
as Ray, Turner, Withering, Purton, &c. This is the first work that had at that
lime been published which was specially devoted to Warwickshire botany. It,

however, only gives the rarer plants, but its author contemplated giving a complete
flora on a future occasion. He had evidently made some preparation for this work,
and left behind him MS. in which this was to an extent carried out. This has
been lost or mislaid, and I have not been able to get access to it. I have, how-
ever, Mr. Perry's own interleaved copy of the ** Plantae," in which are many
additional notes in Perry's handwriting, and to these allusion will be made further
on. Of the 379 plants enumerated by Perry in the ** Plantae " the following are
additional to past records : —
*Apera Spica-venti ; Lemna gibba ; Phalaris arundinacea ; Poa nemoralis ;
Cynosurus cristatus ; Galium Mollugo; Potamogeton pectinatus ; *Campanula

(*C. Cheiri) ; Erodium cicutarium ; Polygala vulgaris ; Equisetum fluviatile ;
£. maximum ; Ophioglossum vuigatum.
Those marked by an asterisk (*) are aliens.
In 1821 Purton published "An Appendix to the Midland Flora: comprising
also Corrections and Additions referring to the two former volumes; and
Occasional Observations tending to Elucidate the Study of the British Fungi ;
concluding with a Generic and Specific Index to the whole work, and a
General Index of Synonyms. Embellished with thirty coloured engravings." This
forms Vol. III., and is by far the most valuable portion of this classical work. In
this volume most of the records are given by the Rev. W. T. Bree, the following
being additions : —
fRosa sepium ; R. mollis ; fR. Sabini ; fR. Doniana ; Mentha sylvestris ;
tM. gracilis; Ulex nanus (U. Gallii); tCeratophyllum demersum; fSalix
pentandra ; fS. repens ; 8. triandra ; S. amygdalina ; S. mollissima (S.
Smithiana); S. aunta; Aspidium (Athyrium) Flix-fomina; A. dilatata;
*CEnothera biennis ; Hypericum Androsaemum ; f Galium erectum.
In the interleaved copy of Perry's ** Plantse Varvicenses Selectae," already
referred to, are many MS. notes, datmg from about 1823 to 1839, many of them
initialed *' W. W. B. ," whom I find to have been a Mr. W. W. Baynes, who probably
lived in Leamington for some years. Of this industrious recorder I can obtain no
information. His observations appear to have been mostly from the immediate
neighbourhood of Leamington.
Among the MS. notes, some of which are copied from Baxter's "Phaeno-
gamous Botany," the following are in addition to former records :--
Scirpus fiuitans ; *Phalaris canariensis ; Aira praecox ; Bromus racemosus ;
Avena pubescens; Chenopodium Bonus- Henricus; Apium graveolens; Epi-
lobium montanum, flore albo ; Geum intermedium ; Geranium phaeum ;

Senecio aquaticus ; Carex remota; C. CEderi (C. flava var. minor); C. dioica;
Poterium Sanguisorbum ; Prunus Avium.
In 1828 Loudon commenced publishing his instructive '* Magazine of Natural
History," in which were a series of articles entitled " Natural History in the English
Counties." Under this heading. Vol. I., page 392, the Rev. W. T. Bree, Rector of
AUesley, contributed "A List of Plants found in Warwickshire, varying with White
Flowers."
Here it will be convenient to give a short biographical notice of one of the
truest and most ardent of our Warwickshire botanists. This I have taken from
•* Warwickshire Worthies," by the Rev. F. L. Colville. *• William Thomas Bree,
Rector of AUesley (only son of the Rev. William Bree, Rector also of Allesley),
was born at Coleshill in 1787, and became well known to the scientific world as a
naturalist and an author. He was educated at the Grammar School, Warwick,
from whence he passed to Oriel College, Oxford, where, in 1808, he took a second

class in ' Literse Humaniores.' After entering holy orders he held the curaqr of
Bickenhill, and at his father's death succeeded as rector of the beautiful parish of
Allesley. One who remembers him from earliest childhood speaks of his unvary-
ing kindness, of the interest which he tried to make others feel in the beauties of
nature, and of his readiness to satisfy an enquiring mind. For many years he Was
a frequent contributor to the various magazines and periodical works on natural
history. He wrote in * Loudon's' and the * Saturday Magazine ' ; Jn the * Zoolo-
gist,' and the * Phytologist. ' While loving natural history in all its branches. Mr.
Bree gave his attention more especially to botany and entomology, and on these
subjects he was looked up to as an authority. He was the first botanist to point
out that Lastrea rigida was a British plant, and was one of the first to maintain
that Lastrea recurva is a distinct species and not a mere variety of L. dilalata."
Mr. Bree also contributed to Watson's " New Botanist's Guide," and was in
communication with many of the leading scientific men of his day. He appears
to have left no herbarium of any extent behind him. He died in 1S63, and was
buried in the parish church of Allesley. In, his first paper to " Loudon's Maga-
zine "the following are additions to previous records :—
Scabiosa succisa ; S. arvensis ; Viola canina (probably V. sylvatica) ;
Lychnis Flos-cuculi ; Scilla nutans ; Prunella vulgaris ; Pedicularis
palustris ; Geranium moUe ; G. Robertianum ; Cnicus lanceolatus ; C.
palustris ; C. arvensis ; Serratula tinctoria ; Orchis Mono ; O. maculata ;
Solanum Dulcamara ; Malva sylvestris.
In the following Vol. II. of ** London's Magazine," Perry contributed a
paragraph on the wmte varieties of wild plants he had observed, mostly the same
species noticed by Bree, but, in addition to these, we find : —
Trifolium repens ; Crepis tectorum (C. virens).
In Vol. III. of the same work, published in 1830, Mr. Bree contributed a further
article on ** The Rarer Plants found in Warwickshire." This paper appears in the
paragraph on ** Natural History in the English Counties," pages 162-67, and
is a list of 106 flowering plants and ferns. S mosses, and 9 fungi. Of the flowering
plants, the following are in addition to previous records : —
Veronica montana ; Pimpinella magna ; Epilobium angustifolium ;
Papaver Argemone ; Geranium pyrenaicum. Many of the plants recorded
in this paper I have myself seen within recent years in the stations indicated.
William Baxter, to whom we owe many new records fof Warwickshire plants,
was born at Rugby, January 15th, 1787. In 1834 he issued his first volume of
** British Phaenogamous Botany " or British Flowering Plants, with figures and
descriptions of the genera ; and this work, which was in six volumes, was published
at intervals between thii date and 1843. In it are records from the neighbourhood
of Rugby, many of which had been recorded as Warwickshire plants by former
botanists. In 18 13 Mr. Baxter was appointed Curator of the Oxford Botanic
Gardens. In 181 7 he was elected as an Associate of the Linnean Society. He
was a frequent correspondent of Purton, Dr. Greville, Mr. Sabine, Mr. Borrer,
and the Rev. A. Bloxam. Mr. Baxter left manuscript notes of many plants he had
noticed in the neighbourhood of Rugby ; these which had not been elsewhere
published were copied for me by Mr. G. C. Druce, F.L.S. ; most of these notes
were without dates, but were made about 1844-46. Of the plants recorded in his
** British Phaenc^amous Botany," together with the MS. notes rdierred to above, the
following are additional as records for Warwickshire : —
Ononis spinosa; Prunus insititia; Prunus Cerasus ; Pyrus Aria;
Crataegus Oxyacanthoides ; Circaea lutetiana ; Apium graveolens ; Valeriana
officinalis ; Myosotis versicolor ; Scrophularia aquatica ; S. nodosa ; Mentha
hirsuta ; Thymus Serpyllum ; Atriplex erecta ; A. hastata ; Rumex obtusi-
folius ; Fagus sylvatica ; Populus alba ; P. tremula ; Juncus ^laucus ; J.
effusus ; J. conglomeratus ; Carex pilulifera; *Phalaris canariensis ; Holcus
mollis ; Agropyron repens ; Chara roetida.

Mr. Baxter died in 1 87 1, in his 84th year, highly esteemed both for his moral
worth and high botanical reputation.
In 1835 Mr. Hewett Cotterill Watson published his **New Botanist's Guide to
the Localities of the Rarer Plants of Britain. '* Chapter xxiv., which deals with
Warwickshire, is compiled partly from Ray, Withering, **The Botanist's Guide,"
and " Midland Flora," but mainly from a checked catalogue of plants found in
Warwickshire by the Rev. W. T. Bree. This is a list of about 1*80 of the more
rare or local plants found in the county. Many of these have been already
enumerated, the following, however, are additional records : —
Cardamine impatiens ; Nasturtium sylvestre ; Lepidium Smithii ; Vicia
Bobartii ; Bryonia dioica ; Silaus pratensis ; Pastinaca sativa ; Petroselinum
segetum ; Sison Amomum ; Athemis nobilis *, Myosotis csespitosus ; Solanum
nigrum; Lycopus europaeus; Primula elatior (P. caulescens) ; Chenopo-
dium murale ; C. urbicum ; Saiix vitellina ; Tamus communis ; Potamogeton
gramineus ; Alopecurus s^estis ; Avena fatua.
In 1837 Mr. Hewett C. Watson issued a second volume of his " New Botanist's
Guide," and, in treating of the Warwickshire portion of his subject, had the assistance
of that able Warwickshire botanist, the Rev. Andrew Bloxam, M.A., of whom it
will be needful to speak again later on. Although in this volume there are several
new stations given for rarer plants, the only new records are those of Mr.^Bloxam,
which are —
Potamogeton zosterifolius ; Valeriana dentata ; Gastridium lendigenim ;
Lotus tenuis.
In 1837 Mr. William Ick published in the pages of a local journal, '*The
Analyst," a paper entitled ** Remarkable Plants found in the vicinity of Birming-
ham in the year 1837." This list, which embraces stations in the aidjacent coun-
ties of Stafford and Worcester, contains records of many plants already recorded
for Warwickshire, but those recorded below are additional records.
Mr. Ick was born in the year 1800, at Newport, in Shropshire, where his
father carried on the trade of fellmonger. In 1803 the family removed to Birming-
ham. From a child he was notable tor his reserved and studious habits, and from
the fear that he might be injured by over-study he was kept from school until nearly
nine years of age. After leaving school he was apprenticed to the celebrated firm
of japanners, Jennens and Betteridge, with whom he served his tirtie. In his
leisure hours he was fond of sketching flowers, and commenced whilst yet young
the study of botany. To a knowledge of this science he also added that of chemistry
and geology. Ick was also a proficient linguist, acquiring a considerable knowledge
of French and other languages. Like most real students, the day never seemed
long enough ; and probably a too earnest desire for knowledge caused him to
neglect his health, which was always ailing. After an unsuccessful endeavour to
start as a bookseller, he became classical tutor at Mr. Kimberley's school at
Emscote, near Warwick, where he mans^ed not only to win the esteem of his pupils
but also to instil into their minds a love for his favourite studies, geology and botany.
In 1833 ^c ^^^^ Leamington for Coventry, where he employed his leisure in further
increasing his knowledge of the Continental langus^esand other subjects. He was
afterward made Curator of the Birmingham Philosophical Institute, and during his ,
tenure of office contributed several papers to the Geolc^cal Society. His
scientific friends appear to have been numerous, and some of them, such as Alfred
Jukes, Sir R. Murchison, and Dr. Buckland, were eminent men of science. In 1843
Ick obtained the degree of M. A. and Ph. D. from one of the German universities.
At the time of his last illness, in 1844, he was employed in making meteorological
observations to supply materials for a paper which was read by Prof. Phillips before
the Royal Society. * He died September 28th, 1844. The following are the addi-
tional plants given in his paper in the ** Analyst": —
Ranunculus Flammula ; Nuphar lutea ; Papaver dubium ; Cardamine pra-
tense; Lepidium campestris ; Silene inflata (S. cucubalus) ; Hypericum tetra-
spermum ; Ononis repens ; Valeriana olitoria ; Achillea Ptarmica ; Jasione
montana ; Lycopsis arvensis ; Juncus bufonius ; Lemna polyrhiza.

In the year 1838 Ick contributed a further paper to a well-known Birmingham
journal, the Midland Counties Herald^ giving a long list of plants, among which
the following were additions to previous records :— Arenaria trinervia ; Polygonum
lapathifolium.
About 1840 Mr. W. G. Perry published a quarto sheet with the title ** Remark-
able Plants observed Growing Spontaneously near Leamington and Warwick."
This is a record of about 93 species of flowering plants and ferns, containing many
records in addition to those given in the •' Plantse Selectse," and evidently compiled
from the MS. notes in his own copy of that work. These have already been given.
In 1842 that valuable and interesting journal, ** The Phytologist," was com-
menced. Scattered through its pages, sometimes at wide intervals, are several
notices of Warwickshire plants. Among the first of these is an account of Pin-
guicula vulgaris, and other plants, from Sutton Coldfield, all of which had, how-
ever, been previously recorded. These notices are incidentally given in Vol. I.,
p. 15. On page 61 occurs a ** Note on British Lycopodiae." From this it will be
seen that none of the species formerly recorded by the Rev. W. T. Bree had at
that date been seen for many years in the stations given in Purton's ** Midland
Flora." This is signed W. T. Bree, Allesley Rectory, August 12th, 1841. The
next paper of importance occurs in Vol. I., p. 261, Art. LXXIV., Varieties, ** List
of some of the Rarer Plants observed in the neighbourhood of Birmingham," and
is signecf *• Samuel Freeman, II, Sun Street, Birmingham, October, 1841." Of
this botanist I can obtain no information, but am able to testify to the correctness
of his records in nearly every instance. The list enumerates about 100 species,
but of these the following only are additions : —
Eleocharis acicularis, Aira praecox ; Festuca loliacea ; Helosciadium inun-
datum ; Ranunculus Lingua ; Chrysanthemum segetum ; and *Villarsia
nymphseoides.
The last plant is recorded by Freeman from Packington Park, and must have
been of recent origin, as it is not recorded by the Countess of Aylesford, nor is it
noticed by Withering.
In this volume Mr. Edward Newman commenced the ** County Lists of British
Ferns and their Allies," and on page 510 we have an account of the distribution of
these plants in Warwickshire, given by various local botanists, such as Cameron,
Luxford, Bree, W. W. Ba)mes, Perry, Southall, Murcott, and others. This was
the most complete list of the ferns of the county that had then been published,
and in it are the following additional records : —
Polypodium vulgare ; *Cystopteris fragilis.; Polystichum aculeatum ;
LastreaFilix-mas; Equisetum arvense ; Athyrium Filix-faemina var. rhaeticum.
In ** The Phytologist," Vol. II., page 269, is a ** Notice of a Few of the Rarer
Warwickshire Plants, by Thomas Kirk. Mr. Kirk was, I believe, a native of
Warwickshire, and resided for many years at Coventry. He was an ardent
botanist, giving attention not alone to the flowering plants and ferns, but also to
the mosses of the county. He appears to have published very little, but he corres-
ponded with several of the more prominent botanists of that day, such as Borrer,
Babington, Bloxam, and W. G. Perry. To the herbarium of the latter botanist
he contributed many of the rarer flowering plants and a collection of mosses.
These form a part of the Perry herbarium in the Warwick Museum.
In 1863 Mr. Kirk left England for New Zealand, where he has not only done
very excellent work in botanical science, but has also filled an important post
under the British Government.
The paper published in Vol. II. of ** The Phytologist " is dated from Cross
Cheeping, September iith, 1847. In this are many interesting records, some of
which I have personally confirmed quite recently. Of these the following are in
addition to former records : —
*Iberis amara ; *Oxalis corniculata ; Callitriche platycarpa ; C hammulata,
var. sessile ; *Sedum album ; *Petroselinum sativum ; Wahlenbergia
hederacea ; *Veronica Buxbaumii ; *Physalis Alkekengi ; Myosotis sylvatica ;
Potam(^eton rufescens. ■

In "The Phytologist," Vol. III., the Rev. W. Thickens, Vicar of Kerseley, near
Coventry, communicated a note on a Warwickshire locality for Botrychium Lunaria
(already noticed) This note is dated July i8th, 1848. On page 300 of this volume
is a long and interesting note on new localities for Botrychium Lunaria, by the
Rev. W. T. Bree, dated August 15th, 1848, and on page 324 a short paper,
" Localities for some of the Rarer Plants of Warwickshire, by the Rev. Andrew
Bloxam, M.A. Only the following are, however, additional as records for the
county : —
Gnaphalium erectum (G. supinum) ; Juncus diffusus ; Rubus plicatus ; R.
foliosus, and Vicia sylvatica ; and on page 325, under *' British Rubi in York-
shire," we have an incidental note of the following additions to the Warwick-
shire Flora :— Rubus affinis, R. Borreri.
Both notes are dated from Twycross, October, 1848.
The Rev. Andrew Bloxam, M.A., was born at Rugby, September 22nd, 1801,
and was the fourth son of the Rev. Rich. Rouse Bloxam, one of the masters of
Rugby SchooL His mother was sister to the celebrated painter, Sir Thomas Law-
ranee. Mr. Bloxam entered Rugby School, 1809, passing from thence to Worcester
College, Oxford, in 1820 ; of this college he afterwards became a Fellow. In the
autumn of 1824 he was appointed naturalist on board H.M.S. The Blonde, com-
manded by Capt. Lord Byron. . During the voyage, which lasted over eighteen
months, he visited South America and the islands of the Pacific, from which he
brought home a large collection of objects, which were deposited in the British
Museum. An account of the vo3rage of The Blonde was afterwards published by
Murray, and in an appendix to this Mr. Bloxam gave some interesting notes on
the natural history of the Sandwich Islands. After his return he took holy orders
and was located, for some years, in Leicestershire, afterwards was curate at Ather-
stone, and then^ about 1840, became Vicar of Twycross, in Leicestershire, where
he remained more than thirty years. During his earlier days in Leicestershire he
enjoyed the friendship of, and communion with, an ardent and promising
botanist, the Rev. Churchill Babington. Mr. Bloxam 's researches were truly wide,
embracing phaenerogams, ferns, mosses, lichens, and fungi ; in the latter family of
plants he did good service, more especially among the Sphseracei, this being
signalised by a genus Bloxamia being named in his honour, and among the
hymenomycetes he had Agarieus Bloxami also named after him.
Among the flowering plants, his favourite study was the brambles and the roses.
Of these groups he was one of the earliest English students, and so early as 1840
i^ued fasciculi, which were of great service to beginners in these studies — of this
I am able to speak from experience. In conjunction with Mr. Churchill
Babington, he furnished a copious list of the flowering plants growing in Cham-
wood Forest and its neighbourhood to Mr. T. R. Potter for his history of that
place. And in conjunction with the Rev. W. H. Coleman he contributed a list of
plants for *' Potter's History of Leicestershire ; " this was never published, and the
MS. appears to have been lost. He also communicated to Mr. Hewett C.
Watson a '* London Catalogue of British Plants," Ed. 2, checked for plants seen
within three miles of Atherstone, all in Warwickshire ; and a checked London
Catalogue, Ed. 2, for plants seen within three miles of Twycross, all in
Leicestershire. These were afterwards used by Mr. Watson in compiling
his valuable ** Topographical Botany." Mr. Bloxam also sent occasional
papers to ** Loudon's Magazine of Natural History," and, later on, to
the ** Journal pf Botany." He also assisted in the early reports of the
Rugby School Natural History Society, and the record of his work in Leicester-
shire is to be seen on nearly every page of the recently published ** Flora of
Leicestershire.'* He married Anne, daughter of the Rev. John Roby, of Cogger-
stone, in the county of Leicester, and niece to Thomas Purton, the author of the
"^ Midland Flora." I had the pleasure of visiting him in 187 1, whilst he was still
Vicar of Twycross, and found him a most genial, courteous, and lovable man. full
of enthusiasm for his favourite science, and, at the same time, mindful of his

duties to all in his parish, rich and poor alike. About 1872 he became, for a short
time, Vicar of Radford Semele, near Leamington, Warwickshire ; and was afterwards
appointed Rector of Harborough Magna, near Rugby, where he died February 2nd,
1878. I had the pleasure of visiting him at this latter place in 1875, ^"^ found him
still fidl of love for botanical pursuits, with quite a host of brambles and roses culti-
vated in his garden, so that he might watch them more readily, and I shall always
remember with pleasure my walk with him in the lanes around his village, where
he pointed out the various special Rubi and Roses of that locality.
May 3rd, 1850, the Rev. W. T. Bree communicated to the **Phytologist " a
paper ** Warwickshire Habitat for Gagea lutea," which the Rev. J. Gorle had
discovered as far back as 1835. On page 945 of the same volume occurs " A
Visit to the Lily Field : or Narcissus poeticus in Warwickshire ;" and a ** Note on
Narcissus lobularis," by Rev. W. T. Bree, M.A., dated June 14th, 1850.
One of the most promising of field botanists was William Cheshire, who died
at Stratford-on-Avon about 1855. He was a working printer, and his knowledge
of botany was self-acquired, and appears to have hdsa vcry^ good. His attention
was given mostly to the district around Stiatford-on-Avon, at that time but little
known. Now and again, however, longer excursions were made, as we find records
of his having visited Coleshill and Itchington Holt. Ail his excursions were, as I
understand, made on foot. Cheshire contributed occasional notes to the earlier
volumes of the ** Phjrtologist," and all his plants appear to have been submitted to
Mr. Perry, many of them being incorporated in that botanist's herbarium at
Warwick, often with only the locality in Cheshire's hand on the ticket, the name
being in Perry's hand, so that it seems evident that Perry named many of his plants.
Cheshire did excellent work in the county, the following being new as records : —
Raphanus Raphanistrum ; Prunus Padus ; Agrimonia odorata ; Arctium
intermedium ; Pimpinella Saxifraga ; Myosotis repens ; and Habenaria
bifolia.
I believe he was under thirty years of age when he died.
About 1858 Mr. Thomas Kurk communicated to Mr. Hewett C Watson a
** London Catalogue of British Plants," Ed. 5, checked for plants seen in War-
wickshire, together with MS. and specimens. Although this record was not
published in ** Topographical Botany " till 1873, it is only justice to an indefatigable
botanist that his records should be noticed in this sequence. Beside the records
from Bree, Bloxam, and Kirk, Mr. Watson also received specimens and MS. com-
munications from Mrs. Russell, of Kenil worth (formerly Anna Worsley), Dr.
Lloyd, of Warwick, and in 1870 the present Mnriter. Many of these records given
in ** Topographical Botany" had already been recorded in the pages of Withering,
Purton, Perry, &c., and have been given in proper sequence in the forgoing pages.
The following, however, are additional as records for the county : —
Ranunculus Lenormandi ; R. auricomus ; R. arvensis ; Fumaria muralis ;
Senebiera Coronopus ; Viola Reichenbachiana ; Silene anglica ; Lychnis
alba; Trifolium scabrum ; Circaea lutetiana; Anthemis cotula; Picris
echioides; Crepis biennis; Hieracium tridentatum ; Leontodon hirtum;
Artemesia Absinthium ; Taraxacum palustre ; Pyrola minor ; Primula veris ;
Verbascum Thapsus; Scrophularia Ehrharti (S. umbrosa, Dum,) ; Linaria
repens ; Stachys ambigua ; Origanum vulgare ; Atriplex deltoidea ; Taxus
baccata ; Rumex acutus ; Epipactis violacea ; Allium vineale ; Potamogeton
mucronatus (P. Friesii) ; Carex muricata ; Koehleria cristatus ; Festuca
Myurus; Bromi\s erectus, B. commutatus; Glyceria plicata.
Beside these, specimens of other noticeable plants were sent by Kirk to the
herbaria of Borrer and Babington. These have been given in the '* Flora " in due
sequence.
March 23rd, 1867, the Rugby School Natural History Society commenced,
under the presidency of an able botanist and well-skilled leader, the Rev. F. £.
Kitchener, who for several years— 1867 to 1874 — guided the work of this society.

BOTANICAL INVESTIGATION IN WARWICKSHIRB. 503
The work which this society set itself is stated in the first volume of proceedings,
and has been fully and ably carried out. From the first they have published yearly
reports, good, and improving year by year, and a complete set of these is a
valuable repertory of botanical, archseological, and other scientific information.
In the first report, that for 1868, is a register of plants found around Rugby,
which I have found valuable as affording me the first localised report of many of
our commoner species, and from many other of the reports I have received consider-
able assistance. In 1876 a separate pamphlet was published, under the heading of
** Register of Plants found within Ten Miles of Rugby," in which we have the
flowering dates from 1871-1875, together with the earliest and mean date, and
years in which these observations have been made. This register concludes with a
long list of rare and local plants, and is quoted in these pages as Rugby Sch, Rep.^
1876. This valuable pamphlet was published under the editorship of two enthu-
siastic botanists, L. Gumming and H. W. Trott. The work of this society has
been good, continuous, and well sustained. Its earlier botanical work was
done by the Rev. F. E. Kitchener, H. C. L. Reader, T. N. Hutchinson, P.
Mahoney, E. Cleminshaw, and others. Later on came Mr. H. W. Trott, enthusiastic
and reliable ; then one of the masters, Mr. L. Gumming ; and in more recent years
the Rev. W. O. Wait has shown the same zeal and energy that signalised the earlier
workers of this society.
In the "Botanical Exchange Glub Report "for 1866, Mr. Henry Bromwich
records two or three rare plants, such as Galium erectum and Stachys ambigua.
In the Report for 1867 a new record, Papaver Lecoqii ; and in the Report for i8(58
Ranunculus pseudo-fiuitans, *£uphorbia Esula, and *Petasites albus.
In 1869 was published ** The British Rubi, an attempt to discriminate the
species of Rubus known to inhabit the British Isles." By Gharles Gardale Bab-
ington, M.A., F.R.S. In this appear records from Warwickshire by the Rev.
Andrew Bloxam, Thomas Kirk, and W. Mathews, M.A. ; those in addition to
former records being ; —
Rubus suberectus ; R. plicatus ; R. Lindleianus ; R. discolor ; R. th3rr-
soideus ; R. leucostachys ; R. Grabowskii ; R. Golemanni ; R. villicaulis ;
R. mucronulatus ; R. Borreri ; R. Bloxamii ; R. hystrix ; R. scaber ; R.
fusco-ater ; R. Guntheri ; R. foliosus ; R. glandulosus ; R. Balfourianus.
On March i8th in the same year, Mr. J. G. Baker, F.R.S., F.L.S., read before
the Linnean Society "A Monograph of the British Roses." In this there are two
additional records from the Rev. W. T. Bree and Henry Bromwich, namely Rosa
sepium and R. gallicoides.
In May, 1870, the Hon. T. J. Lester Warren published in the •* Journal of
Botany," a paper '* On the Dumetorum Group of Rubi in Britain," in which
occurs an additional record from Mr. Bloxam, Kubus tuberculatus.
In 1870 the Birmingham Natural History Society published the first part of
their "Proceedings," to which was added *' A Glassined List of the Flora of the
District," and ** Flowering Plants and Ferns Indigenous to the Neighbourhood
around Birmingham. " Tlus list was compiled by the present writer mainly from his
own notes, and comprises records from the neighbouring counties of Stafford, Shrop-
shire, and Worcestershire. The commoner plants in these lists were not localised,
but all of them had been observed in Warwickshire localities. Of these the
following were at that time additional records : —
Ranunculus heterophyllus ; R. Ficaria ; Viola tricolor ; Lychnis Githago ;
Stellaria aquatica ; S. umbrosa ; Sagina ciliata ; S. procumbens ; Prunus
communis ; Rubus rhamnifolius ; OEnanthe crocata ; Angelica sylvesiris ;
Gaucalis Anthriscus; Leontodon autumnalis; Grepis paludosa; Hypo-

R. amplificatus ; R. diversifolius ; R. atro-rubens ; R. concinnus ;
Rosa dumalis ; R. dumetorum ; R. tomentella ; R. Reuteri ; R. verti-
cillacantha ; Mentha rotundifolia ; Lemna minor ; Eleocharis multicauHs ;
Carex laevigata.
The *• Reports of the Rugby School Natural History Society," 1870-71, give
an additional record, Veronica triphyllos. This is an eastern county plant, and
merely a casual in Warwickshire.
In the "Journal of Botany" for 187 1 a short note is given on "Plants near
Birmingham," by the writer.
In the ** Exchange Club Report " for 187 1 Henry Bromwich records a peculiar
form of Rosa arvensis var. setosa.
In 1872 the ** Rugby School Natural History Society's Annual , Report "
contains the following addition to former records : —
Lamium amplexicaule var. intermedium ; this, however, is an ambiguity,
probably a small-flowered state of L, amplexicaule.
In the "Journal of Botany " for 1872, ** Notes respecting some Birmingham
Plants" contain reference to Warwickshire plants, all of which have been recorded
previously.
In the same journal, 1874, the present writer published " The Moss Flora of
Warwickshire," and a note on Tortula sinuosa as a Warwickshire plant.
In 1874 the Warwick Natural History and Archaeological Society published
in their Proceedings ** A Cafalc^ue of Plants collected in Warwickdiire," com-
piled by the Rev. J. R. Young and R. Baker, M.D. This list is a record of the
observations of the compilers, together with the Rev. A. Bloxam, Henry Brom-
wich, the Rugby School Society, and myself. Although a long list, containing
records of many rare and interesting plants, none of these are additional This
list was afterwards published as a separate work, which is quoted in the fore-
going pages as K and B,
In the *• Report of the Botanical Exchange Club" for 1874 there are several
records of rare Warwickshire plants, of which the following by the writer were
r4ew :--
Carex Ehrhartiana ; C. axillaris.
The " Rugby School Natural History Society's Report" for 1875 contains a
long list of plants, amongst which the following are new records : —
*Linum angustifolium ; *Ruscus aculeatus ; Rosa atvatica ; the two first
being casuals or planted.
In the ** Exchange Club Report" for 1875 the following by the writer are
additions : —
Rubus Schlechtendalii ; Carex elongata.
And by Mr. Bromwich : —
Rubus Leesii ; Salix Laurina ; S. Andersoniana.
In the ** Exchange Club Report" for 1876 the following new records are
given by Mr. Bromwich and the writer :—
Ranunculus truncatus ; Rubus Bagnallii ; Rosa obtusifolius ; R. coriifolius ;
R. marginata ; Galium Bakerii ; Mentha Cardiaca ; Salix Lambertiana ; S.
cotinifolia ; S. Damascena ; Zannichellia brachystema.

In the ** Record Club Report " for 1876 are the following by the writer : —
Rubus Salteri ; R. Radula ; R. spinosissima.
In 1876 the Rugby School Society issued ** A Register of Plants," edited by
L. Gumming and H. W. Trott, in which is also given a long list of rare and local
plants, only one of which, Hesperis matronalis, an alien, is additional.
In the '* Botanical Record Club Report " for 1877-8 the following were givcD
by the writer : —
Rubus ramosus ; R. rotundifolius ; R. heteroclitus ; Rosa senticosa ;
Calamintha Briggsii.
In 1876 the Birmingham Natural History Society published " Notes on Sutton
Park : Its Flowering Plants. Ferns, and Mosses ; to which is added the Roses and
Brambles of Warwickshire," by James E. Bagnall, which was the first Warwick-
shire pamphlet in which both rare and common plants were enumerated and
localised, of which the following were additional to past records : —
Sisymbrium officinale ; *Melilotus arvensis ; Rubus rosaceus ; Fragaria
vesca ; Galium Witheringii ; Taraxacum erythrospermum ; T. Isevigatum ;
Utricularia minor; Scleranthus annuus; Chenopodium candicans; Atriplex

quoted in these pages as The Flora of Sutton Park,
In the ** Botanical Exchange Club Report " are a few records of critical plants
by the writer, all of which had been recorded elsewhere.
In this year, 1876, an accomplished botanist, Mrs. Anna Russell died. Mrs.
Russell was the daughter of the late Mr. Phillip John Worsley, of Bristol, and was
born at Arno's Vale, Bristol, November, 1807. In early life she developed a taste
for natural history and botanical pursuits, and also for the use of the brush and
pencil, the latter talent being afterwards put to good use when studying the British
fungi. At first her attention was devoted to entomology, but later on botany
became her favourite study. In 1844 she married the late Mr. Frederick Russell,
of Kenilworth (whose brother, Dr. James Russell, was formerly a well-known and
eminent Birmingham physician), and they lived for some years at Brislington, near
Bristol, subsequently, however, removing to Kenilworth. Here Mrs. Russell
resided until her death. November nth, 1876, devoting herself principally to the
study of flowering plants and fungi. Her knowledge of British plants was very
good, and she is frequently mentioned in Mr. Hewett C. Wilson's ** New Botanist's
Guide and Topographical Botany" as a communicator of notes from various
parts of Britain, ranging from Cornwall to Lanark, and in his notice of the
authorities to *• Topographical Botany " he thus alludes to this lady :— ** My
botanical correspondence with Mrs. Russell, and interchanges of specimens, have
been carried on through a long series of years," and, on my side, with ever
increasing satisfaction. " For many years she studied carefully the higher fungi,
and made a large series of highly finished drawings. These, amounting to over 730,
she left to the botanical department of the British Museum. Of them the Rev. W.
W. Newbould, with his characteristic patience, sent me a full account, and, as will
be seen in the account of the ** Warwickshire Fungi," her records from Warwick-
shire were very extensive. At her death, her herbarium and her collection of
British Birds' Eggs were bequeathed to the Birmingham and Midland Institute.
Beside her notes and correspondence with Mr. H. C Watson, she also com-
municated occasional notes to ** The Phytologist," and in 1839 she published, a
pamphlet of some thirty-nine pages on the "Flora of Newbury."
In 1878, in Vol. I. of the " Midland Naturalist," in a paper, **The Distribution
of the Genus Rosa in Warwickshire," by J. E. Bagnall, is an enumeration of the
species, varieties, and forms, many of which were here recorded for the first time.
This list is a compilation from the observations of the Rev. Andrew Bloxam,
Henry Bromwich, and the writer. In the same volume, page 281, is a note on
** Rosa latebrosa in Warwickshire," by the writer, and "Notes on the Flora of
Napton," by H. W. Trott, Rugby.
